Origin: IE [Indo-European] [702] *h₁me me
Etymology: Old pronoun: to με cf. Lat. mē, Skt. mā, Goth. etc. mi-k (after ik I; not = *μέ γε), IE *mē; μοι = Skt. mē, Lat. mī (used as vocative), OLith. -mi etc.; ἐμέ, ἐμοί after ἐγώ (Arm. im mei); ἐμίν after ἁμίν etc. The genetives are all innovations: ἐμέο (from where ἐμεῖο analogically or with metr. lengthening) after τέο etc. (s. τίς), with ἐμέο-ς, ἐμέ-θεν (like οἴκο-θεν etc.). - Adjectivised ἐμέ gave the possessive ἐμός meus; thus Av. ma-, Hitt. -miš, Lat. meus. - Further Schwyzer 601ff.
