1In Republican Latin or earlier, alternative spellings could be found for the following forms of quī/quis and its compounds: the masculine nominative singular or plural quī (old spelling quei), the genitive singular cuius (old spelling quoius), the dative singular cui (old spelling quoi or quoiei), the dative/ablative plural quīs (old spelling queis).
2Qua (with short ă) occurs only as an indefinite pronoun or determiner placed immediately after sī, nē, or num. The combinations sīqua, nēqua, and numqua are sometimes written without spacing (as also are the masculines sīquis, nēquis and numquis). Compare aliquis, aliqua, aliquid. Quae can also be used instead of quă. Quă is never used as an interrogative pronoun/determiner, relative pronoun/determiner, or feminine nominative plural.
