whom. which. that. what.
+Remark+.--From the composition of _which_--_hwa:_-lic, or _hwaet-lic_ =
_who-like_, or _what-like_, it is evident that _whose_ is not formed from
_which_. It is, in fact, the possessive of _what_ transferred to _which_.
Much has been said against this _whose_, but it is in general use. Those
who regard usage as the final arbiter in speech need not avoid this form of
the pronoun.
+Interrogative Pronouns+.
The interrogative pronouns _who, which_, and _what_ are declined like the
relatives _who, which_, and _what_.
+Compound Relative Pronouns+.
_Singular and Plural_. _Singular and Plural_.
_Nom_. whoever, whosoever,
_Pos_. whosever, whosesoever,
_Obj_. whomever. whomsoever.
_Whichever, whichsoever, whatever_, and _whatsoever_ do not change their
form.
+Adjective Pronouns+.
_This_ and _that_ with their plurals, _these_ and _those_, have no
possessive form, and are alike in the nominative and the objective. _One_
and _other_ are declined like nouns; and _another_, declined like _other_
in the singular, has no plural. _Either, neither, former_, and _latter_
sometimes take the apostrophe and _s_ ('_s_) in the singular.
