Proto-Khoisan : *Ti
Meaning : 1st person pronoun sg. (emphatic form?)
Notes : Khoe and Sandawe forms are easily reconcilable assuming palatalization in Sandawe; in Bushman, however, the only detectable parallel for now seems to be the special emphatic form de in !Xóõ.

Central Khoisan etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Khoe : *tí
Meaning : I, me
Notes : The original situation is likely to have been best preserved in !Ora: *ti-re = *ti-de 'I (m.)', *ti-ta 'I (f.)'. Since ti- operates as a detachable prefix here, this explains why in some languages the forms te (< *de) and ta have replaced the original complex forms.
