I noticed that in Henan dialect people use 恁, nén in place of 你.

Some comments in this question:[Why in Chinese Bible (和合本), "you" was translated as "你" instead of "您"?](https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/40144/why-in-chinese-bible-%e5%92%8c%e5%90%88%e6%9c%ac-you-was-translated-as-%e4%bd%a0-instead-of-%e6%82%a8?rq=1) note that 您, the polite form of 你, was originally a Northern Dialect address and only later acquired its status as a polite form of address. Presumably, Henan dialect would be included under the category of Northern Dialect.

I'm wondering if 恁 and 您 are related, given they have similar pronunciations. Could they have been originally variant characters for the same word?
