@‎Aabull2016 Could you explain your reasoning about the pronoun sense? How are these uses different from the adverbial uses? DTLHS (talk) 05:31, 11 June 2016 (UTC) @DTLHS In the citations provided, it functions like a noun (as direct object of the verbs "take" and "hear", and in the second case, governing the prepositional phrase "of the bliss..."), not like an adverb. This is parallel to the pronominal sense of much (in the example given there, "much" functions as subject). (Aabull2016 (talk) 06:18, 11 June 2016 (UTC))Reply
