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 hwy (NE why). Some interrogative pronouns were used as adjective pronouns, e. g. hwelc, hwæþer.
Indefinite pronouns were a numerous class embracing several simple pronouns and a large number of compounds: ān and its derivative æni™ (NE one, any); nān, made up of ān and the negative particle ne (NE none); nānþin™ , made up of the preceding and the noun þing (NE nothing); nāwiht/nōwiht/nōht ('nothing', NE not), hwæt-hwu™u 'something' and many others.
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 þe could join attributive clauses, e. g.:
Sē þe mē ™ehælde sē cwæ tō mē 'he who healed me, he said to me'
