§ 180. Interrogative pronouns — hwā, Masc. and Fem., and hwæt, Neut., — had a four-case paradigm (NE who, what). The Instr. case of hwæt was used as a separate interrogative word hwӯ(NE why). Some interrogative pronouns were used as adjective pronouns, e. g. hwelc, hwæper.
§ 181. Indefinite pronouns were a numerous class embracing several simple pronouns and a large number of compounds: ān and its derivative ǣniʒ (NE me, any); nān, made up of ān and the negative particle ne (NE none); nānpinʒ, made up of the preceding and the noun ping (NE nothing); nāwiht/nōwiht/nōht (‘nothing’, NE not), hwæt-hwuʒu ‘something’ and many others.
§ 182. Pronouns of different classes — personal and demonstrative could be used in a relative function, as connectives. The demonstrative sē in its various forms and the personal pronoun hē, either alone or together with a special relative particle pe could join attributive clauses, e.g.:
Sē pe mē ʒehǣlde sē cwæð to mē ‘he who healed me, he said to me’ (For more details and examples see OE syntax, §220 ff.)
THE ADJECTIVE
Grammatical Categories
§ 183. As stated before, the adjective in OE could change for number, gender and case. Those were dependent grammatical categories or forms of agreement of the adjective with the noun it modified or with the subject of the sentence — if the adjective was a predicative. Like nouns, adjectives had three genders and two numbers. The category of case in adjectives differed from that of nouns: in addition to the four cases of nouns they had one more case, Instr. It was used when the adjective served as an attribute to a noun in the Dat- case expressing an instrumental meaning — e. g.:
