_as_ is seen to be a conjunctive adverb--Give such things _as those are
which_ you can spare.
_But_ used after a negative is sometimes called a "negative relative" =
_that not_; as, There is not a man here _but_ would die for such a cause.
When the sentence is expanded, _but_ is found to be a preposition--There is
not a man here _but_ (= _except_) the one who would die, etc.]
The compound relative pronouns are:--
_Whoever or whosoever, whichever_ or _whichsoever_, _whatever_ or
_whatsoever_.
The interrogative pronouns are:--
_Who, which_, and _what_.
Some of the more common adjective pronouns are:--
All, another, any, both, each, either, enough, few, former, latter, little,
many, much, neither, none, one, other, same, several, such, that, these,
this, those, whole, etc. [Footnote: The adjective pronouns _this, that,
these_, and _those_ are called +Demonstrative+ pronouns. _All, any, both,
each, either, many, one, other_, etc. are called +Indefinite+ pronouns
because they do not point out and particularize like the demonstratives.
_Each, either_, and _neither_ are also called +Distributives+.
But for the fact that such words as _brave, good_, etc. in the phrases _the
brave_, _the good_, etc.
