13 qui [1]
1. quī, quae, quod, I) Pron. interrog., welcher, welche, welches, welch, was für einer -eine, -ein (eig. adjektivisch, öfter aber auch substantivisch, jedoch so, daß qui nach Stand u. Charakter einer Person fragt, quis nach dem Namen), A) in direkter Rede: a) adi.: Th. Quis fuit igitur? Py. Iste Chaerea. Ph. Qui Chaerea? Py. Iste ephebus frater Phaedriae, was für ein Chärea? Ter.: quod te municipium vidit? quis amicus invitavit? qui hospes aspexit? Cic.: qui cantus dulcior inveniri potest? quod carmen aptius? qui actor in imitanda veritate iucundior? Cic.: virgo, quae patria est tua? Plaut. – b) subst.: occiso Sex. Roscio qui primus Ameriam nuntiat? was für einer? Manlius Glaucia, Cic. – B) in indirekter Rede: a) adi.: scribis te velle scire, qui sit rei publicae status, welches die Lage des Staates sei, Cic.: quae cura boum, qui cultus habendo sit pecori... hinc canere incipiam, Verg. – b) subst.: tu te collige et, qui sis et quid facere possis, considera, Cic.: domino navis, qui sit, aperit, Nep.
II) Pron. relat., welcher, welche, welches; der, die, das; wer, was, A) Die grammatische Form richtet sich rücksichtlich des Genus u. Numerus nach dem Worte, auf das es bezogen wird, rücksichtlich des Kasus nach dem zu ihm gehörigen Verbum, mors terribilis est iis, quorum cum vita omnia exstinguuntur, Cic.: luna eam lucem, quam a sole accipit, mittit in terras, Cic. – Häufig wird das Substant., auf das es sich bezieht, wiederholt, itinera duo, quibus itineribus, Caes. – Wenn es sich auf ein demonstr. Pron. bezieht, so steht dieses häufig nach, quod virtute effici debet, id tentatur pecuniā, Cic.: a quo plurimum sperant, ei potissimum inserviunt, Cic.: oder es wird gänzlich weggelassen, qui mentiri solet, peierare consuevit, Cic. – bes. beim Neutr. quod, wodurch es in die prägn. Bedeutung wie viel, so viel wie übergegangen ist, adiutabo, quod potero, Ter.: auch m. Genet., quod operae poneretur, Cic.: quod eius (agri), Liv. – Nicht selten bezieht sich qui auf einen allgemeinen Substantivbegriff, der ausgelassen ist, bes. nach den Verben habere, invenire, reperire, nancisci, quaerere, esse, exsistere, exoriri u.a., zB. non facile est invenire, qui, quod sciat ipse, non tradat alteri, Cic.: sunt, qui discessum animi a corpore putent esse mortem, Cic.
Als Eigentümlichkeit ist zu beachten: a) daß qui das Subjekt od. Objekt des Hauptsatzes in derselben Form, in der es selbst steht, zu sich nimmt, quam quisque norit artem, in hac se exerceat, Cic.: quas res violentissimas natura genuit, earum moderationem nos soli habemus, Cic. – b) daß qui ein substantivisches Attribut des Subjektes od. Objektes des Hauptsatzes zu sich nimmt, Philippus Aetolos desertos ab Romanis, cui uni fidebant auxilio, subegit, Liv.: Cumae, quam Graeci tum urbem tenebant, capiuntur, Liv. – Häufig wird ein solcher mit esse gebildeter Relativsatz, in dem das relat. Pron. mit dem Substantiv im Nominativ ober im Ablativ steht, in einem Hauptsatz eingeschaltet, um den Grund zu der in seinem Prädikat ausgesprochenen Eigenschaft anzugeben, spero, quae tua prudentia et temperantia est, te valere, daß du bei od. infolge deiner Klugheit u. Mäßigkeit dich wohl befindest, Cic.: quā prudentiā es, nihil te fugiet, bei deiner Klugheit wird dir nichts entgehen, Cic. – c) daß qui ein adjekt. Attribut des Subjektes od. Objektes des Hauptsatzes zu sich nimmt, ad suas res revocet, quas aut tulerit acerbas aut timeat, Cic.: eam civitatem, in qua ipse florentissima multum omnibus gloriā praestitisset, Cic. – d) daß qui mit seinem Verbum durch Verschränkung mit einem Nebensatz verbunden wird, u. zwar: α) so, daß es von dem Nebensatze abhängig ist. Dies ist der Fall, αα) wenn es mit einem Partizip zusammensteht, non sunt ea bona dicenda nee habenda, quibus abundantem licet esse miserrimum, bei denen man trotz ihres Übermaßes höchst unglücklich sein kann, Cic.: nullas consequuntur voluptates, quarum potiendi spe inflammati multos labores susceperant, zu deren Erreichung sie sich Hoffnung machten u. deshalb viele Anstrengungen übernommen hatten, Cic.: se auctores habuisse sceleris illius eos viros, quibus e civitate sublatis civitas stare non posset, nach deren Entfernung usw., Cic. – ββ) wenn es mit dem Verbum einen abhängigen Relativsatz oder Fragesatz bildet oder in der Konstruktion des Acc. u. Infin. steht, sunt certa vitia, quae nemo est quin effugere cupiat, denen jedermann entgehen möchte, Cic.: cum dubium est, an merito accusetur, qui an omnino accusetur, incertum est, von dem ungewiß ist, ob er usw., Plin. ep. – β) so, daß es den Nebensatz in sich aufnimmt. In diesem Falle richtet sich die Form des relat. Pronomens nach dem Nebensatz, aberat omnis dolor, qui si adesset, nemo molliter ferret, den, wenn er sich einstellte, niemand leicht ertragen würde, Cic.: non Alpes aliae sunt, quas dum superant, comparare nova possint praesidia, während deren Übersteigung sie sich usw., Liv. – e) daß qui zu Anfang eines neuen Satzes steht, α) kopulativ = und dieser, res loquitur ipsa; quae semper valet plurimum, Cic. – β) adversativ = aber dieser, obsistere ei conati sunt Athenienses et Boeotii ceterique eorum socii apud Coroneam; quos omnes gravi proelio vicit, Nep. – γ) kausal = denn dieser, virtus est una altissimis defixa radicibus; quae numquam ullā vi labefactari potest, Cic. – δ) konsekutiv = daher dieser, hoc spectant leges, hoc volunt, incolumem esse civium coniunctionem; quam qui dirimunt, eos morte, exsilio, vinclis, damno coërcent, Cic.
Als Unregelmäßigkeit ist zu beachten: a) wenn qui in einem anderen Genus steht, als das vorausgehende Substant. erwarten läßt. Dies ist der Fall, α) wenn es sich nach dessen Begriffe, nicht nach der grammatischen Form richtet, illa furia (sc. Clodius), qui etc., Cic. – β) wenn es sich nach dem Prädikatsnomen des Relativsatzes oder des Hauptsatzes richtet, patres C. Mucio agrum dono dedere, quae postea sunt Mucia prata appellata, Liv.: Helvetii continentur flumine Rheno latissimo atque altissimo, qui agrum Helvetium a Germanis dividit, Caes. – γ) wenn es mehr auf den allgemein gefaßten Begriff des vorhergehenden Wortes als auf dessen konkrete Bedeutung hinweist, testarum suffragia, quod illi ostracismum vocant, Nep.: quae utilitates ex rebus iis, quae sunt inanima, percipiantur, Cic. – dah. steht es auch im Neutr., wenn auf den Inhalt des ganzen Satzes hingewiesen wird, Lacedaemonii Agin regem, quod numquam antea apud eos accĭderat, necaverunt, Cic.: obsides, quod nulli antea, Persae ei dederunt, Eutr.: meist mit dem demonstr. id, wie: Timoleon, id quod difficilius putatur, multo sapientius tulit secundam quam adversam fortunam, Nep. – b) wenn qui in einem anderen Numerus steht, als das vorhergehende Substantiv erwarten läßt. Dies ist der Fall, α) wenn es nach einem Kollektivbegriff im Plural steht, Caesar equitatum omnem praemittit, qui videant, Caes.: bes. in der Wendung ex eo numero qui, zB. unus ex eo numero, qui ad caedem parati erant, Sall. – β) wenn der relative Satz allgemeiner gefaßt wird als der Hauptsatz, si tempus est ullum iure hominis necandi, quae multa sunt, Cic. – Dies ist bes. der Fall, wenn das relat. Pron. auf ein demonstr. im Neutr. sich bezieht, Caesar pollicetur, ut, quod quisque eorum in bello amiserit, quae sint penes milites suos, iis, qui amiserint, restituatur, Caes. – Auffälliger ist der Sing. nach einem Substant. im Plur., wie Sall. Cat. 56, 5. – c) wenn qui in einem anderen Kasus steht, als das Verbum des relat. Satzes erwarten läßt. Dies ist der Fall, α) wenn es durch Attraktion den Kasus des vorhergegangenen Substant. annimmt, nos hoc confirmamus illo augurio, quo diximus, Cic.: in iis coloribus, quibus modo dixisti, denominandis, Gell. – Dies geschieht am häufigsten, wenn zu dem relat. Satze ein Verbum aus dem Hauptsatze ergänzt werden muß, quibus poterat sauciis ductis secum, Liv.: cum aliquid agas eorum, quorum consuesti, gaudeo, Cic. – β) wenn es bei Verbindung mehrerer relativen Satzglieder in dem zweiten in einem anderen Kasus hinzu ergänzt werden muß, als es im ersten steht, huius tyranni quem armis oppressa pertulit civitas paretque cum maxime mortuo, interitus declarat, Cic.
B) Der Modus ist 1) der Indicat., wenn das durch den relat. Satz dargestellte Attribut als ein wahrgenommenes oder faktisches hingestellt werden soll. Daher steht auch der Indikat. a) in der oratio obliqua, wenn durch das Rel. ein Subjekt oder Objekt umschrieben wird oder der Redende den Inhalt des Relativsatzes als seine Wahrnehmung hinstellt, constituunt, ut ii, qui valetudine aut aetate inutiles sunt bello, oppido excedant, Caes. – b) wenn der Inhalt des Relativsatzes als etwas Faktisches das Prädikat des Hauptsatzes erklären od. bedingen soll, o fortunata mors, quae naturae debita pro patria est potissimum reddita, Cic.: ista quidem sententia ea est, quae neque amicos parat neque inimicos tollit, Liv.: daher auch, wenn es durch quippe, utpote, ut verstärkt wird, quippe quibus aegre ad undecimum lapidem occursum est, Liv.
2) der Coniunctiv, u. zwar: a) in der oratio obliqua, apud Hypanim fluvium Aristoteles ait bestiolas quasdam nasci, quae unum diem vivant, Cic. – b) wenn der Inhalt des Relativsatzes nach der Vorstellung des Redenden nur als möglich hingestellt wird, homines imperiti facilius, quod stulte dixeris, reprehendere, quam quod sapienter tacueris, laudare possunt, Cic. – c) wenn der Inhalt des Relativsatzes als beabsichtigt hingestellt wird, deutsch auf daß, damit, od. um zu mit Infin., sunt multi, qui eripiunt aliis, quod aliis largiantur, Cic. – d) wenn der Inhalt des Relativsatzes den Grund zu der im Hauptsatze ausgesprochenen Erscheinung darstellen soll, deutsch da, da ja, recte Socrates exsecrari eum solebat, qui primus utilitatem a iure seiunxisset, Cic.: Caninius fuit mirificā vigilantiā, qui suo toto consulatu somnum non viderit, Cic.: neque est boni neque liberalis parentis, quem procrearis et eduxeris, eum non et vestire et ornare, Cic. – e) wenn der Inhalt des Relativsatzes als aus der Beschaffenheit des Subjektes im Hauptsatze erfolgend dargestellt werden soll, sapientia est una, quae maestitiam pellat ex animis, quae nos exhorrescere metu non sinat, Cic. – Dies ist bes. der Fall, α) wenn im Hauptsatze die Beschaffenheit angedeutet wird entweder durch die demonstrativen Wörter is, talis, eiusmodi, tam, tantus od. durch die Adjektive aptus, idoneus, dignus, indignus u.a., beutsch daß od. um zu mit Infin., ego is sum, qui nihil fecerim, Cic.: nulla acies humani ingenii tanta est, quae penetrare in caelum, terram intrare possit, Cic.: Livianae fabulae non satis dignae, quae iterum legantur, Cic.: solum censebant idoneum, cui crederetur, Cic. – β) wenn sich der Relativsatz auf ein allgemeines u. unbestimmtes Subjekt oder Objekt bezieht, bes. nach den Verben habere, reperire, invenire, nancisci, quaerere, esse, exsistere, exoriri u. nach den Verbindungen nemo est, nullus est, nihil est, quis est, quotus quis que est u.a., nactus sum, qui Xenophontis similem esse se cuperet, Cic.: est aliquid, quod non oporteat, etiamsi licet, Cic.: quis est, qui dicere audeat, Cic.: nihil est, quod tam miseros faciat, quam impietas et scelus, Cic. – γ) wenn nach einem Komparativ ein mit dem Relativum gebildeter Vergleichungssatz gebraucht wird, Campani maiora in defectione deliquerant, quam quibus ignosci posset, als daß ihnen usw., Liv.
III) Pron. indefin., qui, quae u. qua, quod, a) adi. irgend ein, -eine, -ein, etwa ein, eine, -ein, nisi qui deus subvenerit, wenn nicht etwa ein Gott usw., Cic.: si qui rex, si qua civitas exterarum gentium, si qua natio fecit aliquid in cives Romanos eius modi, Cic.: si qui etiam inferis sensus est, Cic.: ut ne quae pars naturae neglegatur, Cic.: ne qua esset armorum causa, Caes.: quaeritur, num quod officium aliud alio maius sit, Cic. – b) subst. irgendeiner, jemand, irgend etwas, si qui rem neglegentius gessisset, Cic.: si qui Romae esset demortuus, Cic.: si quae contra naturam sunt, wenn eins oder das andere usw., Cic.
/ Alte Formen: Genet. quoius, Plaut.: Dat. quoi, Plaut., u. quo, Varro: Abl. qui mit der Praep. cum in quicum = quocum (meist mit Beziehung auf eine unbestimmte Person, quocum auf eine bestimmte, nach W. Müller Cic. Lael. 77. p. 472), Cic. u.a.; selten = quacum, wie Verg. Aen. 11, 822. – Plur., Dat. queis, Tragic. vett., Lucr. u. Verg. u. quīs, Sall.

18 qui
1. quī, quae, quod, I) Pron. interrog., welcher, welche, welches, welch, was für einer -eine, -ein (eig. adjektivisch, öfter aber auch substantivisch, jedoch so, daß qui nach Stand u. Charakter einer Person fragt, quis nach dem Namen), A) in direkter Rede: a) adi.: Th. Quis fuit igitur? Py. Iste Chaerea. Ph. Qui Chaerea? Py. Iste ephebus frater Phaedriae, was für ein Chärea? Ter.: quod te municipium vidit? quis amicus invitavit? qui hospes aspexit? Cic.: qui cantus dulcior inveniri potest? quod carmen aptius? qui actor in imitanda veritate iucundior? Cic.: virgo, quae patria est tua? Plaut. – b) subst.: occiso Sex. Roscio qui primus Ameriam nuntiat? was für einer? Manlius Glaucia, Cic. – B) in indirekter Rede: a) adi.: scribis te velle scire, qui sit rei publicae status, welches die Lage des Staates sei, Cic.: quae cura boum, qui cultus habendo sit pecori... hinc canere incipiam, Verg. – b) subst.: tu te collige et, qui sis et quid facere possis, considera, Cic.: domino navis, qui sit, aperit, Nep.II) Pron. relat., welcher, welche, welches; der, die, das; wer, was, A) Die grammatische Form richtet sich rücksichtlich des Genus u. Numerus nach dem Worte, auf das es bezogen wird, rücksichtlich des Kasus nach dem zu ihm gehörigen Verbum, mors terribilis est iis, quorum cum vita omnia exstinguuntur, Cic.: luna eam lucem, quam a sole ac-————cipit, mittit in terras, Cic. – Häufig wird das Substant., auf das es sich bezieht, wiederholt, itinera duo, quibus itineribus, Caes. – Wenn es sich auf ein demonstr. Pron. bezieht, so steht dieses häufig nach, quod virtute effici debet, id tentatur pecuniā, Cic.: a quo plurimum sperant, ei potissimum inserviunt, Cic.: oder es wird gänzlich weggelassen, qui mentiri solet, peierare consuevit, Cic. – bes. beim Neutr. quod, wodurch es in die prägn. Bedeutung wie viel, so viel wie übergegangen ist, adiutabo, quod potero, Ter.: auch m. Genet., quod operae poneretur, Cic.: quod eius (agri), Liv. – Nicht selten bezieht sich qui auf einen allgemeinen Substantivbegriff, der ausgelassen ist, bes. nach den Verben habere, invenire, reperire, nancisci, quaerere, esse, exsistere, exoriri u.a., zB. non facile est invenire, qui, quod sciat ipse, non tradat alteri, Cic.: sunt, qui discessum animi a corpore putent esse mortem, Cic.Als Eigentümlichkeit ist zu beachten: a) daß qui das Subjekt od. Objekt des Hauptsatzes in derselben Form, in der es selbst steht, zu sich nimmt, quam quisque norit artem, in hac se exerceat, Cic.: quas res violentissimas natura genuit, earum moderationem nos soli habemus, Cic. – b) daß qui ein substantivisches Attribut des Subjektes od. Objektes des Hauptsatzes zu sich nimmt, Philippus Aetolos desertos ab Romanis, cui uni fidebant auxilio, subegit, Liv.:————Cumae, quam Graeci tum urbem tenebant, capiuntur, Liv. – Häufig wird ein solcher mit esse gebildeter Relativsatz, in dem das relat. Pron. mit dem Substantiv im Nominativ ober im Ablativ steht, in einem Hauptsatz eingeschaltet, um den Grund zu der in seinem Prädikat ausgesprochenen Eigenschaft anzugeben, spero, quae tua prudentia et temperantia est, te valere, daß du bei od. infolge deiner Klugheit u. Mäßigkeit dich wohl befindest, Cic.: quā prudentiā es, nihil te fugiet, bei deiner Klugheit wird dir nichts entgehen, Cic. – c) daß qui ein adjekt. Attribut des Subjektes od. Objektes des Hauptsatzes zu sich nimmt, ad suas res revocet, quas aut tulerit acerbas aut timeat, Cic.: eam civitatem, in qua ipse florentissima multum omnibus gloriā praestitisset, Cic. – d) daß qui mit seinem Verbum durch Verschränkung mit einem Nebensatz verbunden wird, u. zwar: α) so, daß es von dem Nebensatze abhängig ist. Dies ist der Fall, αα) wenn es mit einem Partizip zusammensteht, non sunt ea bona dicenda nee habenda, quibus abundantem licet esse miserrimum, bei denen man trotz ihres Übermaßes höchst unglücklich sein kann, Cic.: nullas consequuntur voluptates, quarum potiendi spe inflammati multos labores susceperant, zu deren Erreichung sie sich Hoffnung machten u. deshalb viele Anstrengungen übernommen hatten, Cic.: se auctores habuisse sceleris illius eos viros, quibus e ci-————vitate sublatis civitas stare non posset, nach deren Entfernung usw., Cic. – ββ) wenn es mit dem Verbum einen abhängigen Relativsatz oder Fragesatz bildet oder in der Konstruktion des Acc. u. Infin. steht, sunt certa vitia, quae nemo est quin effugere cupiat, denen jedermann entgehen möchte, Cic.: cum dubium est, an merito accusetur, qui an omnino accusetur, incertum est, von dem ungewiß ist, ob er usw., Plin. ep. – β) so, daß es den Nebensatz in sich aufnimmt. In diesem Falle richtet sich die Form des relat. Pronomens nach dem Nebensatz, aberat omnis dolor, qui si adesset, nemo molliter ferret, den, wenn er sich einstellte, niemand leicht ertragen würde, Cic.: non Alpes aliae sunt, quas dum superant, comparare nova possint praesidia, während deren Übersteigung sie sich usw., Liv. – e) daß qui zu Anfang eines neuen Satzes steht, α) kopulativ = und dieser, res loquitur ipsa; quae semper valet plurimum, Cic. – β) adversativ = aber dieser, obsistere ei conati sunt Athenienses et Boeotii ceterique eorum socii apud Coroneam; quos omnes gravi proelio vicit, Nep. – γ) kausal = denn dieser, virtus est una altissimis defixa radicibus; quae numquam ullā vi labefactari potest, Cic. – δ) konsekutiv = daher dieser, hoc spectant leges, hoc volunt, incolumem esse civium coniunctionem; quam qui dirimunt, eos morte, exsilio, vinclis, damno coërcent, Cic.————Als Unregelmäßigkeit ist zu beachten: a) wenn qui in einem anderen Genus steht, als das vorausgehende Substant. erwarten läßt. Dies ist der Fall, α) wenn es sich nach dessen Begriffe, nicht nach der grammatischen Form richtet, illa furia (sc. Clodius), qui etc., Cic. – β) wenn es sich nach dem Prädikatsnomen des Relativsatzes oder des Hauptsatzes richtet, patres C. Mucio agrum dono dedere, quae postea sunt Mucia prata appellata, Liv.: Helvetii continentur flumine Rheno latissimo atque altissimo, qui agrum Helvetium a Germanis dividit, Caes. – γ) wenn es mehr auf den allgemein gefaßten Begriff des vorhergehenden Wortes als auf dessen konkrete Bedeutung hinweist, testarum suffragia, quod illi ostracismum vocant, Nep.: quae utilitates ex rebus iis, quae sunt inanima, percipiantur, Cic. – dah. steht es auch im Neutr., wenn auf den Inhalt des ganzen Satzes hingewiesen wird, Lacedaemonii Agin regem, quod numquam antea apud eos accĭderat, necaverunt, Cic.: obsides, quod nulli antea, Persae ei dederunt, Eutr.: meist mit dem demonstr. id, wie: Timoleon, id quod difficilius putatur, multo sapientius tulit secundam quam adversam fortunam, Nep. – b) wenn qui in einem anderen Numerus steht, als das vorhergehende Substantiv erwarten läßt. Dies ist der Fall, α) wenn es nach einem Kollektivbegriff im Plural steht, Caesar equitatum omnem praemittit, qui videant,————Caes.: bes. in der Wendung ex eo numero qui, zB. unus ex eo numero, qui ad caedem parati erant, Sall. – β) wenn der relative Satz allgemeiner gefaßt wird als der Hauptsatz, si tempus est ullum iure hominis necandi, quae multa sunt, Cic. – Dies ist bes. der Fall, wenn das relat. Pron. auf ein demonstr. im Neutr. sich bezieht, Caesar pollicetur, ut, quod quisque eorum in bello amiserit, quae sint penes milites suos, iis, qui amiserint, restituatur, Caes. – Auffälliger ist der Sing. nach einem Substant. im Plur., wie Sall. Cat. 56, 5. – c) wenn qui in einem anderen Kasus steht, als das Verbum des relat. Satzes erwarten läßt. Dies ist der Fall, α) wenn es durch Attraktion den Kasus des vorhergegangenen Substant. annimmt, nos hoc confirmamus illo augurio, quo diximus, Cic.: in iis coloribus, quibus modo dixisti, denominandis, Gell. – Dies geschieht am häufigsten, wenn zu dem relat. Satze ein Verbum aus dem Hauptsatze ergänzt werden muß, quibus poterat sauciis ductis secum, Liv.: cum aliquid agas eorum, quorum consuesti, gaudeo, Cic. – β) wenn es bei Verbindung mehrerer relativen Satzglieder in dem zweiten in einem anderen Kasus hinzu ergänzt werden muß, als es im ersten steht, huius tyranni quem armis oppressa pertulit civitas paretque cum maxime mortuo, interitus declarat, Cic.————den relat. Satz dargestellte Attribut als ein wahrgenommenes oder faktisches hingestellt werden soll. Daher steht auch der Indikat. a) in der oratio obliqua, wenn durch das Rel. ein Subjekt oder Objekt umschrieben wird oder der Redende den Inhalt des Relativsatzes als seine Wahrnehmung hinstellt, constituunt, ut ii, qui valetudine aut aetate inutiles sunt bello, oppido excedant, Caes. – b) wenn der Inhalt des Relativsatzes als etwas Faktisches das Prädikat des Hauptsatzes erklären od. bedingen soll, o fortunata mors, quae naturae debita pro patria est potissimum reddita, Cic.: ista quidem sententia ea est, quae neque amicos parat neque inimicos tollit, Liv.: daher auch, wenn es durch quippe, utpote, ut verstärkt wird, quippe quibus aegre ad undecimum lapidem occursum est, Liv.2) der Coniunctiv, u. zwar: a) in der oratio obliqua, apud Hypanim fluvium Aristoteles ait bestiolas quasdam nasci, quae unum diem vivant, Cic. – b) wenn der Inhalt des Relativsatzes nach der Vorstellung des Redenden nur als möglich hingestellt wird, homines imperiti facilius, quod stulte dixeris, reprehendere, quam quod sapienter tacueris, laudare possunt, Cic. – c) wenn der Inhalt des Relativsatzes als beabsichtigt hingestellt wird, deutsch auf daß, damit, od. um zu mit Infin., sunt multi, qui eripiunt aliis, quod aliis largiantur, Cic. – d) wenn der Inhalt————des Relativsatzes den Grund zu der im Hauptsatze ausgesprochenen Erscheinung darstellen soll, deutsch da, da ja, recte Socrates exsecrari eum solebat, qui primus utilitatem a iure seiunxisset, Cic.: Caninius fuit mirificā vigilantiā, qui suo toto consulatu somnum non viderit, Cic.: neque est boni neque liberalis parentis, quem procrearis et eduxeris, eum non et vestire et ornare, Cic. – e) wenn der Inhalt des Relativsatzes als aus der Beschaffenheit des Subjektes im Hauptsatze erfolgend dargestellt werden soll, sapientia est una, quae maestitiam pellat ex animis, quae nos exhorrescere metu non sinat, Cic. – Dies ist bes. der Fall, α) wenn im Hauptsatze die Beschaffenheit angedeutet wird entweder durch die demonstrativen Wörter is, talis, eiusmodi, tam, tantus od. durch die Adjektive aptus, idoneus, dignus, indignus u.a., beutsch daß od. um zu mit Infin., ego is sum, qui nihil fecerim, Cic.: nulla acies humani ingenii tanta est, quae penetrare in caelum, terram intrare possit, Cic.: Livianae fabulae non satis dignae, quae iterum legantur, Cic.: solum censebant idoneum, cui crederetur, Cic. – β) wenn sich der Relativsatz auf ein allgemeines u. unbestimmtes Subjekt oder Objekt bezieht, bes. nach den Verben habere, reperire, invenire, nancisci, quaerere, esse, exsistere, exoriri u. nach den Verbindungen nemo est, nullus est, nihil est, quis est, quotus quis que est u.a., nactus sum, qui————Xenophontis similem esse se cuperet, Cic.: est aliquid, quod non oporteat, etiamsi licet, Cic.: quis est, qui dicere audeat, Cic.: nihil est, quod tam miseros faciat, quam impietas et scelus, Cic. – γ) wenn nach einem Komparativ ein mit dem Relativum gebildeter Vergleichungssatz gebraucht wird, Campani maiora in defectione deliquerant, quam quibus ignosci posset, als daß ihnen usw., Liv.III) Pron. indefin., qui, quae u. qua, quod, a) adi. irgend ein, -eine, -ein, etwa ein, eine, -ein, nisi qui deus subvenerit, wenn nicht etwa ein Gott usw., Cic.: si qui rex, si qua civitas exterarum gentium, si qua natio fecit aliquid in cives Romanos eius modi, Cic.: si qui etiam inferis sensus est, Cic.: ut ne quae pars naturae neglegatur, Cic.: ne qua esset armorum causa, Caes.: quaeritur, num quod officium aliud alio maius sit, Cic. – b) subst. irgendeiner, jemand, irgend etwas, si qui rem neglegentius gessisset, Cic.: si qui Romae esset demortuus, Cic.: si quae contra naturam sunt, wenn eins oder das andere usw., Cic.⇒ Alte Formen: Genet. quoius, Plaut.: Dat. quoi, Plaut., u. quo, Varro: Abl. qui mit der Praep. cum in quicum = quocum (meist mit Beziehung auf eine unbestimmte Person, quocum auf eine bestimmte, nach W.
