With a suitably vague definition of "pronoun", I might agree with you.

{jIHtaHbogh naDev vISovbe'}, perhaps? The grammar used to construct
this phrase is obscure at best, completely arbitrary at worst, and
likely archaic and not useful for use in constructing our own phrases,
but it at least *looks* like {naDev} is the object of {vISovbe'}.
