英和和英

語源

From earlier hem, from 中期英語 hem, from 古期英語 heom (“them”, dative) of hie, originally a dative plural form but in 中期英語 coming to serve as an accusative plural as well. Cognate with Dutch hun (“them”), German ihnen (“them”).

Now often treated as a colloquial apheretic form of them, which however derives from Old Norse rather than 古期英語.
