Ic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Old English personal pronoun. For other uses, see Ic (disambiguation).
Ic (IPA: /ɪtʃ/) was the first-person, singular, personal pronoun (subject case) in Old English.
Modern scholars write this word iċ, to mark that the c is pronounced like ch in church (IPA: [tʃ]).
The whole word would probably have sounded something like Modern English each.
