The synn. quis, aliquis, and quidam designate an object not denoted by name; quis leaves not merely the object, but even its existence, uncertain; hence it is in gen. used in hypoth. and conditional clauses, with si, nisi, num, quando, etc.; aliquis, more emphatic than quis, denotes that an object really exists, but that nothing depends upon its individuality; no matter of what kind it may be, if it is only one, and not none; quidam indicates not merely the existence and individuality of an object, but that it is known as such to the speaker, only that he is not acquainted with, or does not choose to give, its more definite relations; cf. Jahn ad Ov. M. 9, 429, and the works there referred to).

aliqui, as nemo sometimes stands with a noun for the adj. nullus:

Ter. Hec. 3, 1, 6 Fleck.;
Et ait idem, ut aliquis metus adjunctus sit ad gratiam,

89 aliquis

ălĭquis, aliquid; plur. aliqui [alius-quis; cf. Engl. somebody or other, i.e. some person [p. 88] obscurely definite; v. Donald. Varron. p. 381 sq.] ( fem. sing. rare).— Abl. sing. aliqui, Plaut. Aul. prol. 24; id. Most. 1, 3, 18; id. Truc. 5, 30; id. Ep. 3, 1, 11.— Nom. plur. masc. aliques, analog. to ques, from quis, acc. to Charis. 133 P.— Nom. and acc. plur. neutr. always aliqua.— Dat. and abl. plur. aliquibus, Liv. 22, 13;
oftener aliquis,
id. 26, 15; 26, 49; Plin. 2, 48, 49, § 131.—Alicui, trisyl., Tib. 4, 7, 2), indef. subst. pron., some one, somebody, any one, something, any thing; in the plur., some, any (it is opp. to an object definitely stated, as also to no one, nobody. The synn. quis, aliquis, and quidam designate an object not denoted by name; quis leaves not merely the object, but even its existence, uncertain; hence it is in gen. used in hypoth. and conditional clauses, with si, nisi, num, quando, etc.; aliquis, more emphatic than quis, denotes that an object really exists, but that nothing depends upon its individuality; no matter of what kind it may be, if it is only one, and not none; quidam indicates not merely the existence and individuality of an object, but that it is known as such to the speaker, only that he is not acquainted with, or does not choose to give, its more definite relations; cf. Jahn ad Ov. M. 9, 429, and the works there referred to).

aliqui, as nemo sometimes stands with a noun for the adj. nullus:

Lewis & Short latin dictionary > aliquis
90 aliquod

ălĭquis, aliquid; plur. aliqui [alius-quis; cf. Engl. somebody or other, i.e. some person [p. 88] obscurely definite; v. Donald. Varron. p. 381 sq.] ( fem. sing. rare).— Abl. sing. aliqui, Plaut. Aul. prol. 24; id. Most. 1, 3, 18; id. Truc. 5, 30; id. Ep. 3, 1, 11.— Nom. plur. masc. aliques, analog. to ques, from quis, acc. to Charis. 133 P.— Nom. and acc. plur. neutr. always aliqua.— Dat. and abl. plur. aliquibus, Liv. 22, 13;
oftener aliquis,
id. 26, 15; 26, 49; Plin. 2, 48, 49, § 131.—Alicui, trisyl., Tib. 4, 7, 2), indef. subst. pron., some one, somebody, any one, something, any thing; in the plur., some, any (it is opp. to an object definitely stated, as also to no one, nobody. The synn. quis, aliquis, and quidam designate an object not denoted by name; quis leaves not merely the object, but even its existence, uncertain; hence it is in gen. used in hypoth. and conditional clauses, with si, nisi, num, quando, etc.; aliquis, more emphatic than quis, denotes that an object really exists, but that nothing depends upon its individuality; no matter of what kind it may be, if it is only one, and not none; quidam indicates not merely the existence and individuality of an object, but that it is known as such to the speaker, only that he is not acquainted with, or does not choose to give, its more definite relations; cf. Jahn ad Ov. M. 9, 429, and the works there referred to).

Frequently, esp. in Cic., with the kindred words aliquando, alicubi, aliquo, etc., for the sake of emphasis or rhetorical fulness, Cic. Planc. 14, 35:
asperius locutus est aliquid aliquando,
id. ib. 13, 33; id. Sest. 6, 14; id. Mil. 25, 67:
non despero fore aliquem aliquando,
id. de Or. 1, 21, 95; id. Rep. 1, 9; id. Or. 42, 144; id. Fam. 7, 11 med.: evadat saltem aliquid aliquā, quod conatus sum, Lucil. ap. Non. 293, 1; App. Mag. p. 295, 17 al.—
F.
In conditional clauses with si, nisi, quod si, etc.:
si aliquid de summā gravitate Pompeius dimisisset,
Cic. Phil. 13, 1: si aliquid ( really any thing, in contrast with nihil) dandum est voluptati, id. Sen. 13, 44: quod si non possimus aliquid proficere suadendo, Lucc. ap. Cic. Fam. 5, 14, 5:
Quod si de iis aliqui remanserint,
Vulg. Lev. 26, 39:
si quando aliquid tamquam aliqua fabella narratur,
Cic. de Or. 2, 59:
si quis vobis aliquid dixerit,

I.
In Verg. once with the second person sing.:
Exoriare aliquis nostris ex ossibus ultor, Qui face Dardanios ferroque sequare colonos,
Verg. A. 4, 625.
► In the following passages, with the critical authority added, aliquis seems to stand for the adj.
aliqui, as nemo sometimes stands with a noun for the adj. nullus:
nos quibus est alicunde aliquis objectus labos,
Ter. Hec. 3, 1, 6 Fleck.;
Et ait idem, ut aliquis metus adjunctus sit ad gratiam,
Cic. Div. in Caecil. 7, 24 B. and K.:
num igitur aliquis dolor in corpore est?
id. Tusc. 1, 34, 82 iid.:
ut aliquis nos deus tolleret,
id. Am. 23, 87 iid.: sin casus aliquis interpellārit, Matius ap. Cic. Fam. 11, 28, 8 iid.:
si deus aliquis vitas repente mutāsset,
Tac. Or. 41 Halm:
sic est aliquis oratorum campus,
id. ib. 39 id.:
sive sensus aliquis argutā sententiā effulsit,
id. ib. 20 id. A similar use of aliquid for the adj. aliquod was asserted to exist in Plaut. by Lind. ad Cic. Inv. 2, 6, 399, and this is repeated by Klotz, s. v. aliquis, but Lemaire's Index gives only one instance: ni occupo aliquid mihi consilium, Plaut. Men. 5, 2, 94, where Brix now reads aliquod.

With alius, aliud: some or any other, something else, any thing else:

Cic. Fragm. B. VI. 21:
ut per alium aliquem te ipsum ulciscantur,

And with the idea of alius implied, in opp. to a definite object or objects, some or any other, something else, any thing else: aut ture aut vino aut aliqui (abl.) semper supplicat, Plaut. Aul prol. 24:
vellem aliquid Antonio praeter illum libellum libuisset scribere,
Cic. Brut. 44:
aut ipse occurrebat aut aliquos mittebat,
Liv. 34, 38:
cum seditionem sedare vellem, cum frumentum imperarem..., cum aliquid denique rei publicae causā gererem,
Cic. Verr. 1, 27, 20: commentabar declamitans saepe cum M. Pisone et cum Q. Pompeio aut cum aliquo cotidie id. Brut. 90, 310; Vell. 1, 17; Tac. A. 1, 4: (Tiberius) neque spectacula omnino edidit;

In a pregn. signif. as in Gr. tis, ti, something considerable, important, or great = aliquid magnum (v. supra. I. B.; cf. in Gr. hoti oiesthe ti poiein ouden poiountes, Plat. Symp. 1, 4):
non omnia in ducis, aliquid et in militum manu esse,
Liv. 45, 36.—Hence, esp.,

sed, etc.,
Cic. Att. 3, 15: est istuc quidem aliquid, sed, etc.; id. Sen. 3; id. Cat. 1, 4:

Etenim si nunc aliquid assequi se putant, qui ostium Ponti viderunt,
Cic. Tusc. 1, 20, 45.—
3.
In colloquial lang.: fiet aliquid, something important or great, will, may come to pass or happen: Ch. Invenietur, exquiretur, aliquid fiet. Eu. Enicas. Jam istuc aliquid fiet, metuo, Plaut. Merc. 2, 4, 25:
mane, aliquid fiet, ne abi,
id. Truc. 2, 4, 15; Ter. And. 2, 1, 14.—
D.
Ad aliquid esse, in gram. lang., to refer or relate to something else, e. g. pater, filius, frater, etc. (v. ad):
idem cum interrogantur, cur aper apri et pater patris faciat, il lud nomen positum, hoc ad aliquid esse contendunt,
Quint. 1, 6, 13 Halm.—
E.
Atque aliquis, poet. in imitation of hôide de tis, and thus some one (Hom. II. 7, 178;
7, 201 al.): Atque aliquis, magno quaerens exempla timori, Non alios, inquit, motus, etc.,
Luc. 2, 67 Web.; Stat. Th. 1, 171; Claud. Eutr. 1, 350.—

G.
Aliquid, like nihil (q. v. I. g), is used of persons:
Hinc ad Antonium nemo, illinc ad Caesarem cotidie aliquid transfugiebat,
Vell. 2, 84, 2 (cf. in Gr. tôn d allôn ou per ti... oute theôn out anthrôpôn, Hom. H. Ven. 34 sq. Herm.).— Hence the advv.
