===Etymology 2===
{{zh-forms|alt=子-chiefly in place names,囝,兒,亜,啊,也-after name or title}}

(Mandarin and Cantonese pronunciations in words borrowed from Southern Min are from etymology 1.)

[[tone sandhi|Tone sandhi]] before {{lang-lite|zh|sc=Hani|仔}} differ from the normal rules in some dialects of Hokkien. In Taiwanese Hokkien, only the rules for tones 1, 2, 4 (-p/t/k) and 8 (-p/t/k) remain unchanged:
* tone 3 → tone 1 (instead of tone 2): {{l-lite|nan|sc=Hani|印仔|tr=ìn-á}}
* tone 4 (-h) → tone 1 (instead of tone 2): {{l-lite|nan|sc=Hant|鴨仔|tr=ah-á}}
* tone 5 → tone 7 (instead of tone 3 in northern Taiwan): {{l-lite|nan|sc=Hant|蝦仔|tr=hê-á}}
* tone 7 does not change (instead of changing to tone 3): {{l-lite|nan|sc=Hani|帽仔|tr=bō-á}}
* tone 8 (-h) → tone 7 (instead of tone 3): {{l-lite|nan|sc=Hant|藥仔|tr=io̍h-á}}
