ilkadj.1pron.1n.Origin: A word inherited from Germanic. Etymology: Apparently < the Germanic pronominal stem seen in Old Dutch er , Old High German ir , er , Gothic is , etc. (see he pron. and compare it pron.) + the Germanic base of lich n. With the formation compare which adj., and such adj. and pron. Compare also thilk adj. and pron.For similar use of the same pronominal stem with the meaning ‘same’ in compounds, compare Old English ī- in īsīðes immediately (compare sithe n.1) and īdæges on the same day (cognate with Old Frisian -īdigis in allīdigis the same day (compare days adv.) and further with Old Icelandic í dag today, although the latter apparently shows reanalysis of the original construction as a noun phrase with í in prep.). In Old English the word usually has weak inflections, both as adjective and as pronoun, but strong forms are occasionally attested. For the development of the final consonant compare which adj. and see the discussion at ylike adj. and n. Forms with initial e- (as e.g. elke at α. forms, eche, eeche at γ. forms) may reflect association with each adj. and pron. (beside its variant ilk adj.2 and pron.2). †A. adj.1the world > relative properties > relationship > identity > [adjective] the world > relative properties > relationship > identity > [adjective] > the same as already mentioned α. eOE (Kentish) Charter: Oswulf & Beornðryð to Christ Church, Canterbury (Sawyer 1188) in N.

This entry has been updated (OED Third Edition, January 2018; most recently modified version published online June 2022). ilkadj.2pron.2Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: each adj.; each pron. Etymology: Variant (chiefly east midland, northern, and Scots) of each adj. and each pron.; compare δ. forms at each adj. and pron. and see further discussion at that entry. Compare ilka adj., ilk adj.1, ilkane pron., ilkin adj.Forms at this entry show reflexes of Old English ylc (see δ. forms at each adj. and pron.) which lack palatalization and affrication of the stem-final plosive (and with regular northern and east midland unrounding of y ); these may reflect unpalatalized forms of the word in Old English (perhaps showing generalization from inflected forms with /k/ before a back vowel), or reflect sound-substitution in areas of Scandinavian influence. Compare similar developments at swilk adj. and pron. and sic adj. (beside such adj. and pron.), and also whilk at which adj. and pron. γ. forms. In Old English ylc is securely attested only in Mercian, but its Middle English reflexes suggest a much wider distribution; compare δ. forms at each adj. and pron. Spellings with c (unlike those with k ) are not in themselves conclusive as to the presence or absence of palatalization; such forms have been allocated to this entry or each adj. and pron. on the basis of an assessment of the likelihood of palatalization being shown.
