nothing several
Note that some indefinite pronouns take singular verbs while others take plural verbs
Examples:

Something is missing somewhere.
Everybody has left for the occasion
Few are needed for the job
Many want to be like her
Also, some indefinite pronouns can be used to show ownership/ possession
Example:

Don’t steal anyone’s property
His health is everybody’s concern
Reciprocal Pronouns:
These pronouns are used when the actions of the verbs are shared by two or more people or things. Reciprocal pronouns are of two forms: “Each other” and “one another.”
Examples:
My friend and I love each other dearly.
The players congratulated one another on their victory.
Note that “Each other” is used when two people or things shared the action while “One another” is used when more than two people or things are involved.

- While I was taking my bath, somebody knocked at the bathroom door which was locked.
