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.
