- The ḍamīr is not a form class, but it is only a Minor (and indeed unavoidable) sin to equate it with our “pronoun.” However ḍamīr is only valid for our personal pronouns (including ḍamīr al-faṣl and ḍamīr al-šaʾn), and does not refer in Arabic to any of the other categories we call pronouns, such as demonstratives, interrogatives, and relatives, which are all explicitly nouns, e.g. ism al-ʾišāra, not ḍamīr al-ʾišāra.
