The word 'but' is not a pronoun.

The word 'but' is a conjunction, preposition, adverb, and noun.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

Examples:

We have tulips but we don't have any lilacs. (conjunction, joins two parts of the compound sentence)

He ate everything but the broccoli. (preposition, introduces the prepositional phrase)

The image appeared but momentarily. (adverb, modifies the adverb 'momentarily')

You can either accept or reject it, there will be no but. (noun, direct object of the verb 'will be')

The contract is final, you can either accept or reject it. (the pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'contract' is the second part of the sentence)
