Etymology
An intralingual borrowing from SEY spoken varieties into NWY and CY. The opposition between the demonstrative pronouns 'this' and 'that' is expressed by èyí and èyinì respectively in NWY and CY. In some SEY spoken varieties, however, it is ìyí and ìyẹn. In some NWY and CY spoken varieties èyinì and ìyẹn are still used side by side, but with ìyẹn gaining ground over èyinì.
