Proto-Japanese: *si

Altaic etymology: Altaic etymology

Meaning: thou (2d p. pron.)

Russian meaning: ты

Old Japanese: si

Comments: OJ si is not frequent and is sometimes hard to distinguish from the deictic / emphatic particle si; however, there are several text examples firmly identifying its function as a 2d p. pronoun. It is used parallelly with the far more frequent na, but never occurs in compounds or with suffixes -re or -no; it is thus probable that it originally functioned as the direct stem as opposed to na as the oblique stem in a suppletive paradigm. See more detailed discussion in Murayama 1950, Miller JOAL and Itabashi 1998 (pace the latter author, however, we must say that the coincidence of si 'thou' and si `deictic / emphatic pronoun and particle' must be just a coincidence).

Middle Japanese: símès-

Tokyo: shimés-, shìmes-

Kyoto: shímés-

Kagoshima: shimés-

Comments: JLTT 751. The accent in RJ and PJ is exceptional, showing that the word is treated as a compound *sí- 'make' + *mi-as- 'show, cause to see'. One may suppose that original *sìmà-s- (causative from the attested *sìmà-, OJ sìmà-, Tokyo shimé- "mark, mark out as one's territory") was restructured under the influence of *mì-as- 'show'.
