Pronouns as adjectives
When using pronouns as an adjective, they appear in the predicative position, and the noun is
articular.
When αὐτος appears in the attributive position, it is an adjective meaning “the same”
Relative Pronoun
ὃς declines as αὐτος
Number and gender agree with the antecedent, but case is determined by the pronoun’s function in
the relative clause.
The relative is sometimes attracted into the case of its antecedent, with the antecedent sometimes
dropping out.
