Pronouns in Euraisa and elsewhere

[Florian Siegl]

Dear fellow typologists,

I'm looking for instances and references concerning personal pronoun 
borrowing [equivalents of I, YOU, HE] in Eurasia. Available literature 
concentrates on the Americas, South and South-East Asia but as far as 
Eurasia is concerned, I have not yet found more instances than one clear 
example (Ket --> Forest Enets). However, this example did not make it 
into the general literature so far and I wonder if pronoun borrowing is 
really so extraordinary in Eurasia and whether there are no other known 
instances.

My second question concerns pronouns in a global context; Are there any 
languages attested whose personal pronouns are derived from lexemes such 
as body or any other possible body part and if yes, are these pronouns 
considered to be etymologically old or are they more recent 
grammaticalizations? Any reference welcome...

Best wishes,

Florian Siegl
