PRON: pronoun
Definition
Pronouns are words that substitute for nouns or noun phrases, whose meaning is recoverable from the linguistic or extralinguistic context. Pronouns in Old Georgian are of the following types: personal (PronType=Prs), demonstrative (PronType=Dem), possessive (Poss=Yes), determinal/reflexive (PronType=Tot), indefinite (PronType=Ind), interrogative (PronType=Int), relative (PronType=Rel), reciprocal (PronType=Rcp) and negative (PronType=Neg). In comparison with other nominals, the inflectional paradigms of the aforementioned pronoun types are very irregular; some of them follow the rules of the nominal declensions and exhibit different forms based on agreement between person, case and number, while others do not. Additionally, in Georgian, pronouns often have particles added to them, indicating their type, see PartType.
