the Tolosates, a state which is
in our province._
c) When the logical antecedent is a superlative; as,--
Themistocles de servis suis, quem habuit fidelissimum, misit,
_Themistocles sent the most trusty slave he had_.
d) In expressions of the following type--
qua es prudentia; quae tua est prudentia, _such is your prudence_ (lit.
_of which prudence you are; which is your prudence_).
5. The Relative is never omitted in Latin as it is in English. Thus _the
boy I saw_ must be puer quem vidi.
6. The Relative is used freely in Latin, particularly at the beginning of a
sentence, where in English we employ a demonstrative; as,--
quo factum est, _by this it happened_;
quae cum ita sint, _since this is so_;
quibus rebus cognitis, _when these things became known_.
7. The Relative introducing a subordinate clause may belong grammatically
to a clause which is subordinate to the one it introduces; as,--
numquam digne satis laudari philosophia poterit, cui qui pareat, omne
tempus aetatis sine molestia possit degere, _philosophy can never be
praised enough, since he who obeys her can pass every period of life
without annoyance_ (lit. _he who obeys which, etc._).
Here cui introduces the subordinate clause possit and connects it with
philosophia; but cui is governed by pareat, which is subordinate to possit.
INDEFINITE PRONOUNS.
252. 1. Quis, _any one_, is the weakest of the Indefinites, and stands
usually in combination with si, nisi, ne, num; as,--
si quis putat, _if any one thinks_.
2. Aliquis (adj. aliqui) is more definite than quis, and corresponds
usually to the English _some one_, _somebody_, _some_; as,--
nunc aliquis dicat mihi, _now let somebody tell me_;
utinam modo agatur aliquid, _oh that something may be done_.
3. Quidam, _a certain one_, is still more definite than aliquis; as,--
homo quidam, _a certain man_ (i.e., _one whom I have in mind_).
a. Quidam (with or without quasi, _as if_) is sometimes used in the
sense: _a sort of_, _kind of;_ as,--
cognatio quaedam, _a sort of relationship_;
mors est quasi quaedam migratio, _death is a kind of transfer as it
were_.
4. Quisquam, _any one_, _any one whoever_ (more general than quis), and its
corresponding adjective ullus, _any_, occur mostly in negative and
conditional sentences, in interrogative sentences implying a negative, and
in clauses o
