What part of speech is the word whatever in sentence Whatever weather may be game will held?

In the sentence "Whatever weather may be, the game will be held", the word "whatever" is functioning as a pronoun.

Here's why:

* Pronoun Function: It's replacing a noun phrase (e.g., "any kind of weather").

* Subject of the Clause: "Whatever" acts as the subject of the clause "Whatever weather may be".
