Talk:quisque

Latin inflection
Grammar books mention different inflections of this word regarding the plural: 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. So the inflection should be like this (vocatives shouldn't exists):
 * Modern grammar books often just mention singulars - but modern grammar books are often incomplete anyway (e.g. they often omit the vocative).
 * 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").
 * quisque, quidque (substantival pronoun):
 * quisque, quaeque, quodque (adjectival pronoun):
 * dat. & abl. pl. might also be "queisque" (queis is an older form of quibus)
