•second-person singular pronoun: you, thou
Etimoloji
/na mut͡ɕi/ → /namʉd͡ʑi/ → /nand͡ʑi/ Originally a compound of 汝 (na, second person singular pronoun, see Etymology 3 below) + 貴 (muchi, “noble”). Also written as なむぢ (namuji) in older texts, since the namuchi, namuji, and nanji readings likely existed in free variation until the development of the ん (n) grapheme.
