LESSON LII

THE INDEFINITE PRONOUNS

[Special Vocabulary]

/incolumis, -e\, _unharmed_
/ne: ... quidem\, adv., _not even_. The emphatic word stands between
/ne:\ and /quidem\
/nisi\, conj., _unless, if ... not_
/paene\, adv., _almost_ (pen-insula)
/satis\, adv., _enough, sufficiently_ (satisfaction)
/tantus, -a, -um\, _so great_
/ve:ro:\, adv., _truly, indeed, in fact_. As a conj. _but, however_,
usually stands second, never first.

/de:cido:, de:cidere, de:cidi:, ----\, _fall down_ (deciduous)
/de:silio:, de:sili:re, de:silui:, de:sultus\, _leap down, dismount_
/maneo:, mane:re, ma:nsi:, ma:nsu:rus\, _remain_
/tra:du:co:, tra:du:cere, tra:du:xi:, tra:ductus\, _lead across_

_296._ The indefinite pronouns are used to refer to _some person_ or
_some thing_, without indicating which particular one is meant. The
pronouns /quis\ and /qui\, which we have learned in their interrogative
and relative uses, may also be indefinite; and nearly all the other
indefinite pronouns are compounds of /quis\ or /qui\ and declined almost
like them. Review the declension of these words, Secs. 221, 227.

_297._ Learn the declension and meaning of the following indefinites:

MASC. FEM. NEUT.
quis quid, _some one, any one_ (substantive)
qui: qua or quae quod, _some, any_ (adjective), Sec. 483
aliquis aliquid, _some one, any one_
(substantive), Sec. 487
aliqui: aliqua aliquod, _some, any_ (adjective), Sec. 487
qui:dam quaedam quoddam, quiddam, _a certain,
a certain one_, Sec. 485
quisquam quicquam or quidquam (no plural), _any one_
(at all) (substantive), Sec. 486
quisque quidque, _each one, every one_
(substantive), Sec. 484
quisque quaeque quodque, _each, every_ (adjective), Sec. 484

[Transcriber's Note:
In the original text, the combined forms (masculine/feminine) were
printed in the "masculine" column.]

NOTE. The meanings of the neuters, _something_, etc., are easily
inferred from the masculine and feminine.
