Pronunciation

Pronoun
[edit]quīvīscumque (feminine quaevīscumque, neuter quodvīscumque); relative/interrogative determiner with an indeclinable portion
Usage notes
[edit]- In Titus Lucretius Carus' de rerum natura libri the form cujusviscumque and in Marcus Valerius Martialis' epigrammaton libri the form quoviscumque appear. However, this depends on edition as it is also spelled cuiusvis cumque and quo vis cumque respectively.[1][2] F. Neue cites it as "repentis itum cuius vis cumque animantis Lucr. 3, 388" and "quo vis cumque loco Mart. 14, 1 a", and explains it as split forms of quīcumque.[3]
Declension
[edit]Relative/interrogative determiner with an indeclinable portion.
