(Linguistique) Inanimé.
- English also differentiates between humans versus non-human animates and inanimates with respect to which relative pronoun is used: compare the book which I read; the bird which flew away (not *the book whom I read or *the bird who flew away) and the girl whom I saw (not *the girl which I saw). We could, in fact, refine the English animacy hierarchy to something like proper nouns and kin terms > humans > other animates > inanimates. — (Viveka Velupillai, An Introduction to Linguistic Typology, 2012, ISBN 9789027211989, p. 158)
