Proto-Indo-European

    Particle

    *ḱi- ~ *ḱe- ~ *ḱo- or *-ḱe

    1. Deictic particle, here
    2. Post-positional demonstrative particle, this

    Usage notes

    The particle in Proto-Indo-European was indeclinable. Some daughter languages, particularly Balto-Slavic, Germanic and Armenian added pronominal inflection later, as also occurred with particles *de, *h₂ew, and *gʰe.

    Although it does not have an exact equivalent in English, French and Arabic ها (-hā) are used in the same way.
