1. In the Indefinite Pronouns, only the pronominal part is declined. Thus:
Genitive Singular alicujus, cujuslibet, etc.
2. Note that aliqui has aliqua in the Nominative Singular Feminine, also in
the Nominative and Accusative Plural Neuter. Qui has both qua and quae in
these same cases.
3. Quidam forms Accusative Singular quendam, quandam; Genitive Plural
quorundam, quarundam; the m being assimilated to n before d.
4. Aliquis may be used adjectively, and (occasionally) aliqui
substantively.
5. In combination with ne, si, nisi, num, either quis or qui may stand as a
Substantive. Thus: si quis or si qui.
6. Ecquis, _any one_, though strictly an Indefinite, generally has
interrogative force. It has both substantive and adjective
forms,--substantive, ecquis, ecquid; adjective, ecqui, ecquae and ecqua,
ecquod.
7. Quisquam is not used in the Plural.
8. There are two Indefinite Relatives,--quicumque and quisquis, _whoever_.
Quicumque declines only the first part; quisquis declines both but has only
quisquis, quidquid, quoquo, in common use.
