DISTRIBUTIVE PRONOUNS


[Sidenote: _Definition and examples._]


134. The DISTRIBUTIVE PRONOUNS are those which stand for the names

of persons or things considered singly.


[Sidenote: _Simple._]


Some of these are _simple_ pronouns; for example,--


They stood, or sat, or reclined, as seemed good to _each_.


As two yoke devils sworn to _other's_ purpose.


Their minds accorded into one strain, and made delightful music

which _neither_ could have claimed as all his own.


[Sidenote: _Compound_.]


Two are compound pronouns,--_each other_, _one another_. They may be

separated into two adjective pronouns; as,


We violated our reverence _each_ for _the other's_ soul.

--HAWTHORNE.


More frequently they are considered as one pronoun.


They led one another, as it were, into a high pavilion of their

thoughts.--HAWTHORNE.


Men take each other's measure when they react.--EMERSON.
