Noticed that on http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8853/ (the ILS
page) that translation is given for "pronoun" - <DIpvaD tam>, literally "it
exchanges for the benefit of a noun". Not a noun itself, but a verb phrase;
but considering the ILS's looser policy on verb-noun homophonic pairs, it's
probably meant as a noun.
<DIpvaD lIw> would be *better*, but still not an adequate term in my view.
