What is the grammar label for "some"?

In the example: "Some of the possibilities are..."

Is "some" a pronoun? I'm not too sure.

Thanks for the help in advance.

It's something that all who have studied French are very familiar with.

By the way: of course "some" can also be an adjective [Some books cost more than $100.].
