An aphetic form of ich, an obsolete dialect form of "I", used only to prefix other words, e.g., cham, I am; cha, chave, I have; chad, I had; chill, I will. It does not appear that it can stand alone as a word, but for some reason it's on the SOWPODS list, which I regard as an error. (Listed in MW2, OED2 and Chambers 20th Century Dictionary.)
