Interrog., who? which? what? what kind or sort of a? (adjectively; while quis, quid is used substantively; qui, of persons, asks for the character, quis usu. for the name).

In direct questions: quae haec daps est? qui festus dies? what sort of a feast? what kind of a festival? Liv. And. ap. Prisc. p. 752 P. (a transl. of Hom. Od. 1, 225: tis daïs, tis de homilos hod epleto; cf. Herm. Doctr. Metr. p. 619): Th. Quis fuit igitur? Py. Iste Chaerea. Th. Qui Chaerea? what Chærea? Ter. Eun. 5, 1, 8:

what is the state of the country, Cic. Fam. 1, 7, 10:

quae cura boum, qui cultus habendo Sit pecori... Hinc canere incipiam,

Verg. G. 1, 3:

Cic. Div. in Caecil. 6, 20:

qui sit, qui socium fraudarit, consideremus,

id. Rosc. Com. 6, 17.—

Rel., who, which, what, that, referring to a substantive or pronoun as antecedent.

As a simple rel.

With antecedent expressed:

habebat ducem Gabinium, quīcum quidvis rectissime facere posset,

Cic. Phil. 2, 19, 48:

ille vir, cui patriae salus dulcior fuit,

id. Balb. 5, 11:

vir acer, cui, etc.,

id. Brut. 35, 135:

vir optimus, qui, etc.,

id. Fam. 14, 4, 2:

Priscus, vir cujus, etc.,

Liv. 4, 46, 10; 23, 7, 4:

quod ego fui ad Trasimenum, id tu hodie es,

id. 30, 30, 12:

collaria, quae vocantur maelium,

Varr. R. R. 2, 9, 15:

coloniam, quam Fregellas appellent,

Liv. 8, 23:

sucus, quem opobalsamum vocant,

Plin. 12, 25, 54, § 116:

sidere, quod Caniculam appellavimus,

id. 18, 28, 68, § 272. —

With pronom. antecedent understood: QVI IN IVS VOCABIT, IVMENTVM DATO, Lex XII. Tabularum: SI ADORAT FVRTO, QVOD NEC MANIFESTVM ESCIT, ib. tab. 2, 1. 8:

novistine hominem? ridicule rogitas, quīcum una cibum capere soleo,

Plaut. Trin. 4, 2, 60:

beati, quīs contigit, etc.,

Verg. A. 1, 95:

fac, qui ego sum, esse te,

Cic. Fam. 7, 23, 1. —

The rel. freq. agrees with the foll. word:

est locus in carcere, quod Tullianum appellatur,

Sall. C. 55, 3:

ealoca, quae Numidia appellatur,

id. J. 18, 11:

exstat ejus peroratio, qui epilogus dicitur,

Cic. Brut. 33, 127:

justa gloria, qui est fructus virtutis,

id. Pis. 24, 57:

domicilia conjuncta, quas urbes dicimus,

id. Sest. 42, 91. —

Sometimes it agrees with the logical, not the grammatical antecedent:

ne tu me arbitrare beluam, qui non novisse possim, quīcum aetatem exegerim,

Plaut. Trin. 4, 2, 112:

ubi est scelus qui me perdidit?

Ter. And. 3, 5, 1:

hoc libro circumcisis rebus, quae non arbitror pertinere ad agriculturam,

Varr. R. R. 1, 1, 11:

abundantia earum rerum, quae prima mortales ducunt,

Sall. J. 41, 1; Cic. Fam. 2, 8, 2:

illa furia muliebrium relligionum, qui, etc.,

id. ib. 1, 9, 15: alteram alam mittit, qui satagentibus occurrerent, Auct. B. Afr. 78. —

Relating to a remote subject:

annis ferme DX post Romam conditam Livius fabulam dedit... anno ante natum Ennium: qui (sc. Livius) fuit major natu quam Plautus et Naevius,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 1, 3; v. the commentators ad loc.; Liv. 21, 26, 2; 31, 38, 10; 37, 14, 2; cf. Krehl ad Prisc. 2, 9, § 48, p. 91.—

The antecedent is sometimes repeated after the rel.:

erant itinera duo, quibus itineribus, etc.,

Caes. B. G. 1, 6. —

In a question, with ne affixed: sed ubi Artotrogus hic est? Art. Stat propter virum fortem... Mil. Quemne ego servavi in campis Curculioniis? whom I saved? Plaut. Mil. 1, 1, 9:

quemne ego vidi?

whom I saw? Ter. And. 4, 4, 29.—

With an accessory signif., causal or final, joined to the subj.

As, because, seeing that, since:

Actio maluimus iter facere pedibus, qui incommodissime navigassemus,

Cic. Att. 5, 9, 1:

hospes, qui nihil suspicaretur,

id. Verr. 2, 1, 25, § 64;

ingrata es, ore quae caput nostro Incolume abstuleris,

Phaedr. 1, 8, 11.—

Qui, with the subj., also follows dignus, indignus, aptus, idoneus, etc., answering the question, to or for what? dignus est, qui imperet, i. e. to, Cic. Leg. 3, 2, 5:

dignum esse dicunt, quīcum in tenebris mices,

id. Off. 3, 19, 77:

socios haud indignos judicas, quos in fidem receptos tuearis,

Liv. 23, 43:

idoneus nemo fuit quem imitarere,

Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 16, § 41.—

Also after demonstrr. or clauses expressing or implying a quality or degree which is defined or explained in the rel.-clause:

qui potest temperantiam laudare is, qui ponat summum bonum in voluptate?

Cic. Off. 3, 33, 117:

Sometimes it agrees with the logical, not the grammatical antecedent:

Cic. Tusc. 1, 1, 3; v. the commentators ad loc.; Liv. 21, 26, 2; 31, 38, 10; 37, 14, 2; cf. Krehl ad Prisc. 2, 9, § 48, p. 91.—

The antecedent is sometimes repeated after the rel.:

erant itinera duo, quibus itineribus, etc.,

Caes. B. G. 1, 6. —

In a question, with ne affixed: sed ubi Artotrogus hic est? Art. Stat propter virum fortem... Mil. Quemne ego servavi in campis Curculioniis? whom I saved? Plaut. Mil. 1, 1, 9:

quemne ego vidi?

whom I saw? Ter. And. 4, 4, 29.—

socios haud indignos judicas, quos in fidem receptos tuearis,

idoneus nemo fuit quem imitarere,

Cic. Off. 3, 33, 117:

nullo modo videre potest quicquam esse utile, quod non honestum sit,

id. ib. 3, 19, 77:

non sumus ii, quibus nihil verum esse videatur,

id. N. D. 1, 5, 12:

Caesar equitatum praemisit, qui viderent,

Caes. B. G. 1, 15:

domi creant decem praetores, qui exercitui praeessent,

Nep. Milt. 1, 4. —

The rel. serves as a connective, instead of is, ea, id, with a conj.:

res loquitur ipsa, quae semper valet plurimum,

and this, Cic. Mil. 20, 53:

ratio docet esse deos, quo concesso, confitendum est, etc.,

id. N. D. 2, 30, 75.—

quae tua natura est,

Since tantus conveys only the idea of relative greatness, it may also be used (with a foll. ut) to denote a small amount, degree, extent, etc.; hence, of such a quantity or quality, such, so small, so slight or trivial; in the neutr., so little, so few (rare but class.):

Particular phrases.

Tantum non, analog. to the Gr. monon ouk, to [p. 1842] point out an action as only not, i. e. very nearly, completed, almost, all but, very nearly (perh. not ante-Aug.; in Cic. Att. 14, 5, 2, Baiter reads tantummodo):

only there must be no delay, Liv. 35, 18, 8:

Verg. E. 6, 16. —

Tantum quod non, only that not, nothing is wanting but:

tantum quod hominem non nominat: causam quidem totam perscribit,

Cic. Verr. 2, 1, 45, § 116.

tantus, a, um, adj. [perh. for tavantus; cf. Sanscr. tāvant, so great; Gr. teôs, i. e. teWôs].

Of such size or measure, so great in amount, extent, value, degree, etc. (as some standard expressed or understood); usually with a foll. quantus, ut, qui, or absol.; rarely quam.
