An enclitic indefinite pronoun denoting an unspecified or unidentified person or thing; used to indicate 'someone,' 'anyone,' or 'a certain one.' While its primary sense is 'a certain (person or thing),' it also functions in a nonspecific or generalizing way, expressing indefiniteness in statements and questions. Context determines whether it should be rendered as 'someone,' 'anyone,' 'a certain one,' 'anything,' or 'some.'
