Indefinite pronouns are used to refer to people, objects or places having indeterminate characteristics or which are uncertain in number. DGS uses different forms of indefinite pronouns for human and non-human referents. The indefinite pronouns referring to humans are typically expressed by compound signs [Morphology 1.] (a), while the ones referring to non-humans are usually articulated by simplex forms (b). Both types are expressed on the upper part of the signing space.
