The word 'why' is not a pronoun; the word why is an adverb, a conjunction, an exclamation, and a noun (plural 'whys').

EXAMPLES

adverb: Why is he late? (the subject of the sentence is he, 'He is late why')

conjunction: I will tell you why he is late.

exclamation: Why, that's not right!

noun: When you know the whys and the wherefores you will get it.
