[*] 151. The pronouns quis and quī appear in various combinations. [*] a. The adverb -cumque (-cunque) (cf. quisque ) added to the relative makes an indefinite relative, which is declined like the simple word: as, quīcumque , quaecumque , quodcumque, whoever, whatever; cûiuscumque , etc.
[*] Note.--This suffix, with the same meaning, may be used with any relative: as, quāliscumque, of whatever sort; quandōcumque (also rarely quandōque ), whenever; ubicumque, wherever.
[*] b. In quisquis, whoever, both parts are declined, but the only forms in common use are quisquis , quidquid ( quicquid ) and quōquō .[*] Note 1.--Rare forms are quemquem and quibusquibus; an ablative quīquī is sometimes found in early Latin; the ablative feminine quāquā is both late and rare. Cuicui occurs as a genitive in the phrase cuicui modī, of whatever kind. Other cases are cited, but have no authority. In early Latin quisquis is occasionally feminine.
[*] Note 2.-- Quisquis is usually substantive, except in the ablative quōquō , which is more commonly an adjective.
[*] c. The indefinite pronouns quīdam, a certain (one); quīvīs , quīlibet, any you please, are used both as substantives and as adjectives. The first part is declined like the relative quī , but the neuter has both quid- (substantive) and quod- (adjective):—quīdam | quaedam | quiddam ( quoddam ) |
quīvīs | quaevīs | quidvīs ( quodvīs ) |

[*] Note.-- Ecquis ( ecquī ) has no genitive singular, and in the plural occurs in the nominative and accusative only.
[*] g. The enclitic particle -que added to the interrogative gives a universal: as, quisque, every one; uterque, each of two, or both. Quisque is declined like the interrogative quis , quī :—substantive, quisque , quidque; adjective, quīque , quaeque , quodque . In the compound ūnusquisque, every single one, both parts are declined (genitive unīuscûiusque ), and they are sometimes written separately and even separated by other words:— [*] h. The relative and interrogative have rarely a possessive adjective cûius (-a, -um), older quôius, whose; and a patrial cûiās (cûiāt-), of what country. [*] i. Quantus, how great, quālis, of what sort, are derivative adjectives from the interrogative. They are either interrogative or relative, corresponding respectively to the demonstratives tantus , tālis (§ 152). Indefinite compounds are quantuscumque and quāliscumque (see § 151. a).
