Etymology 2
Hokkien 仔 (á) is historically a weak form of 囝 (kiáⁿ, kó̤aⁿ), as evidenced in older, less reduced forms such as:
- 仔 (giá, giáⁿ), as per Dictionario Hispanico Sinicum (1626-1642), 《彙音妙悟》(Lūi-im Biāu-ngō͘) (1800), and Van der Loon (1967).
- 仔 (iá, iáⁿ), as per Dictionario Hispanico Sinicum (1626-1642), Medhurst (1832), and Van der Loon (1967).
- 仔 (ngiá/ngiáⁿ, ngá/ngáⁿ), as per Dictionario Hispanico Sinicum (1626-1642), Van der Loon (1967), and Douglas (1873).
- 仔 (niá/niáⁿ, ná/náⁿ), as per Dictionario Hispanico Sinicum (1626-1642) and Douglas (1873).
The latter two in particular with nasal initials usually occur after syllables ending in a nasalized rime (Van der Loon 1967; Douglas 1873) due to possibly being a result of nasal assimilation. Also, in Pe̍h-ōe-jī (POJ), syllables with a nasal initial allophonically have a nasalized vowel or not, as per Van der Loon (1967), though the above are shown with a nasalization symbol (i.e.〈ⁿ〉) as used by Douglas (1873) in order to fully portray the recorded historical antecedents.
See also modern Quanzhou Hokkien 囝 (káⁿ, IPA: [kã⁵⁵⁴]), which came from the historical archaic form Quanzhou Hokkien 囝 (kó̤aⁿ, IPA: [kɯã⁵⁵⁴]), still used in traditional 南管 (Lâm-koán) opera, as per 《當代泉州音字彙》(2012).
Mandarin and Cantonese pronunciations in words borrowed from Southern Min are from etymology 1.
