her; its; their; that; such; it (refers to sth preceding it)

其 — the third-person and demonstrative reference word

其 originally depicted a basket or sieve shape and was borrowed purely for its sound to serve as a third-person pronoun and demonstrative. The components 甘, 一, and 八 reflect older writing stages and don't carry their modern meanings here.
