I'm looking for the etymology of the old TP pronoun 'iki' (he, she, it, they)

it is replaced by 'ona' probably to avoid the confusion with 'ike' (bad, complicated)

I thought this one would be easy to find, but jea, was I wrong !

The only etymon I can come up with until now is the Javanese 'iki' which means "this, that" ..
