pronominal
Standing for nouns
Pronominal describes anything relating to or functioning as a pronoun.
A pronominal adjective like "my" or "this" derives from a pronoun.
In grammar, pronominal reference is how pronouns point back to nouns: in The dog wagged its tail, "its" is a pronominal reference to "dog."
