Pro-forms tagged as `ADV` receive a [PronType]() feature. Such items are listed in the tables below.

WH Lemma | `PronType`
WH Lemma (`WRB`) | `PronType`
------|-----------
_how_, _why_ | `PronType=Int` or `PronType=Rel`
_when_, _where_, _whither_ | `PronType=Dem` or `PronType=Int` or `PronType=Rel`

_however_,[^1] _whenever_, _wherever_ | `PronType=Int` or `PronType=Rel`
_wherein_ | `PronType=Rel`

[^1]: _However_ tagged as `RB` (the most frequent usage) does not receive `PronType`.

[PronType]()=`Rel` applies when these trigger a relative construction—see [acl:relcl]() for details.
When they are interrogative, they receive `PronType=Int`. When they simply help specify a place or time, they are `PronType=Dem`.

[^1]: This is a special type of interrogative clause known as an _exhaustive conditional adjunct_ (*CGEL* pp. 761–764). In this construction the interrogative _WH-ever_ word alternates with _no matter WH_ or _regardless of WH_ (_No matter where he lives..._).
