Should English etymology 2 be a pronoun, like'em is, instead of a determiner?70.172.194.2522:20, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yup. While it's a variant of "them", and thereis a determiner sense of "them", you would normally need to have it unstressed and closely paired with a preceding word for "them" to become "'em". I wouldn't expect that of a determiner. I suppose there's some variety of English somewhere that has "'em" in initial positions as a determiner (something like "em things was..."?), but that would be different from what we currently have at'em.Chuck Entz (talk)03:19, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
