For odd reasons, I'd like to get the word for "her" in a number of languages. That's "her" in the sense of "OMG, it's her!" -- the objective pronoun in English, accusative in some other languages, etc. If there's an emphatic form, I'd like that too.

[Poll #1507575]

Thanks very much!

Grammar nitpick: "It's her!" isn't correct english. With linking verbs (such as 'is') you're supposed to use the subjective case, not the objective. It should be "It's she!"

In Latin, the singular nominative feminine demonstrative is 'illa'. Which translates as 'That Girl'.

Apparently, 'it is I' vs 'it is me' has been in dispute since the 18th century.
