In this case, she is from Proto-West Germanic *hiju, from Proto-Germanic *hijōf (“this, this one”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱe-, *ḱey- (“this, here”), and is cognate with Saterland Frisian jo, ju, West Frisian hja, North Frisian jü, Danish hun, Swedish hon; more at he.\nA derivation from Old English sēo (“the or that\", occasionally \"she”) is also possible, though less likely.234 In that case, sēo would have undergone a change in stress from sēo to seō /sjoː/, then a change from /sj-/ to /ʃ-/, similar to the derivation of sure from Old French seur.45 It would then be cognate to Dutch zij and German sie.\nNeither etymology would be expected to yield the modern vocalism in /iː/ (the expected form would be shoo, which is in fact found dialectally).
