Where do the 3rd person singular nominative pronouns in Germanic languages come from?
According to wiktionary, "he" is related to "here", how does that work? Is Dutch "hij" related to "here" as well? What about German "er"? Is Scandinavian "han" related to "he" or is it related to Finnish "haen"?
And what about "she"? And Dutch zij and German sie? Are they related to the Indo-European reflexive pronoun?
