1When used as an indefinite pronoun or adjective, the feminine nominative singular and neuter nominative/accusative plural is usually qua instead of quae. Indefinite qua is generally only found directly after the accompanying sī, nisi, num, or nē and may be considered to be either enclitic to it or forming a compound with it; sometimes sīqua, numqua, and nēqua are written together. The form qua is never found for any form of the interrogative or relative pronouns, nor for the feminine plural of the indefinite pronoun or adjective.
2In Republican Latin or earlier, quī was often spelled as quei, cuius as quoius, cui as quoi (or quoiei), and quīs as queis.
