A way to remember it
A weapon with a serrated blade, held in the hand. It was borrowed for the sound to write the pronoun and never gave it back, so the commonest word for I is a picture of a halberd.
A picture that makes the shape stick — not a claim about the character’s history.
Draft — written with AI help and not yet read by a person. What that means.
Got it. Tell someone:
I; me
wǒ — I; me
