Git (pronoun)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Git (IPA: /jɪt/) was the second-person, dual, personal pronoun (subject case) in Old English.
Modern scholars write this word ġit,to mark that the g is pronounced gently (IPA: [j]).
The whole word would probably have sounded something like Modern English eat — *yeat.
Git is also a pejorative slang term meaning "childish person or brat" in the United Kingdom and Southern United States.
