Latin inflection
[edit]Grammar books mention different inflections of this word regarding the plural:
- Modern grammar books often just mention singulars - but modern grammar books are often incomplete anyway (e.g. they often omit the vocative).
Well, maybe they just mention singulars as "each men" (like "one letters") doesn't make sense. But: quisque might have a plural like unus (one) has a plural, which might be used with pluralia tantum or words which in plural have a singular meaning. Like "letters" as plural could be used for "alphabet" and thus "one letters" = "one alphabet" would make sense. - Older grammar books (sometimes) have plurals - but grammar books sometimes include unattestable, not existing and thus made-up forms.
- [zeno.org/Georges-1913/A/quisque] & [www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=quisque&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059] mention plurals of the adjectival pronoun (like "proximi quique").
So the inflection should be like this (vocatives shouldn't exists):
- quisque, quidque (substantival pronoun)
m./f. | n. | |
---|---|---|
Case | Singular | |
Nom. | quisque | quidque |
Gen. | cuiusque/cujusque | |
Dat. | cuique | |
Acc. | quemque | quidque |
Abl. | quōque |
- quisque, quaeque, quodque (adjectival pronoun)
m. | f. | n. | |
---|---|---|---|
Case | Singular | ||
Nom. | quisque | quaeque | quodque |
Gen. | cuiusque/cujusque | ||
Dat. | cuique | ||
Acc. | quemque | quamque | quodque |
Abl. | quōque | quāque | quōdque |

Gen. | quōrumque | quārumque | quōrumque |
Dat. | quibusque | ||
Acc. | quōsque | quāsque | quaeque |
Abl. | quibusque |
- dat. & abl. pl. might also be "queisque" (queis is an older form of quibus)
