Etymology
Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 匕 + 卩: a man standing and a man kneeling; compare 化 (huà), 比 (bǐ), 北 (běi) and 尼 (ní). The sense “I” has been hypothesized to be from 我 (OC *ŋaːlʔ, “I”) (ultimately from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ŋa) with an attached vocative suffix *-ŋ (Sagart, 1999: 134). However, evidence for the latter suffix is sparse; Sagart otherwise only adduces the pair of words 女 (OC *naʔ, *nas, “woman”) and 娘 (OC *naŋ, “mother (originally as a term of address)”).
