theys

noun

  • The they of this sentence that is the previously mentioned word they, especially if the previously mentioned they was of the previous sentence.

    This word is used to disambiguate trans-clause context, that regular subjective and objective and other grammarcase words possibly might have a hard time disambiguating or even possibly can't disambiguate by themselves.

    Example: They(1) saw it come close towards them(2). Theys tried to helped them.

    The word theys is referring to (1), because (1) is the they that was previously mentioned.
