2When used as an indefinite word (pronoun or adjective), the feminine nominative singular and neuter nominative/accusative plural is usuallyqua (with shortă) instead ofquae. Indefinitequă is generally only found directly aftersī,nisi,num, ornē and may be considered to be either enclitic to the preceding word or (in Priscian's view) forming a compound with it; accordingly,sīqua,numqua, andnēqua are sometimes written together (as also are the masculinessīquis,numquis, andnēquis). The formquă is never used for the feminine plural, nor for any form of the relative pronoun or of the interrogative pronoun or adjective.
