    Well it kinda is. Pronouns are like names, in the sense that we use them to describe to whom we refer.

    They are a non injective function on the name set.

    The restriction you would like to make is that the function is not multivalued. But it is. As an example, Andrea is a name that is usually associated with a female person, but it is a normal name for male people in Italy.

      I disagree.

      Pronouns are not names.

      allowed

      That’s the second time you’ve used the word “allow”. That’s very telling.

        Yes, that is why I wrote “like”. They serve the same functionality.

        second

        That is the first time you wrote second. That’s very telling.
