-From 言 yán ‘words’ (reduced to 文 wén in the simple form 这), and 辶(辵 chuò) ‘go’.
+The character 这/這 zhè/zhèi ‘this (here)’ combines 辶(辵 chuò) ‘go’, and 言 (yán); formerly wr. 者 (HDZ).
-	Originally used for an obsolete word which meant ‘go to meet’, in which 言 yán was phonetic, then borrowed for the modern word zhè (for unknown reasons, says Karlgren). Compare 那 nà ‘that’. 这 zhè and 那 nà have alternative pronunciations zhèi and nèi, used before a measure word especially in 北京 Běijīng, but it is more standard to stick to the readings zhè and nà all the time.
+	Note: Formerly 這 yàn ‘go to meet’, in which 言 yán ‘direct speech’ (phonosemantic).
+	Compare: 这 zhè/zhèi ‘this (here)’; 那 nà/nèi ‘that (there)’; readings 这 zhèi, 那 nèi (口语) are contractions of 这一, 那一 (合音).
