Simply put, the word is a noun that refers to the process of forming a pronoun. In English, some common pronouns are he, she, it, they, them, we, etc. In ASL, the pronouns are the letter-shaped classifiers which act as a referent for an object, such as the F-classifier used to indicate a small round object.
