Forquidandquod, see659.688.Old forms of the genitive singular arequoius, and of the dativequoiei,quoiī, orquoi, also in derivatives ofquīorquis. A genitive pluralquōiūmis old and rare. The dative and ablative plural is sometimesquīsfromquo-,quā-. A nominative plural interrogative and indefinitequēsis rare (Pacuv.).689.The ablative or locative is sometimesquī, from the stemqui-: as an interrogative,how?as a relative,wherewith,whereby, masculine, feminine, or neuter, in old Latin sometimes with a plural antecedent; especially referring to an indefinite person, and withcumattached,quīcum; and as an indefinite,somehow.690.Other case forms ofquīorquisand their derivatives are found in inscriptions, as follows:N.QVEI, prevalent in republican inscriptions; alsoQVI; onceQVE. G.QVOIVS, regularly in republican inscriptions;cviivs, cviivs, cviivs(23), onceQVIVS(20). D.QVOIEI, QVOI; once F.QVAI. Ab.QVEI.

NOUNS AS ADVERBS.696.Adverbs, conjunctions, and prepositions are chiefly noun or pronoun cases which have become fixed in a specific form and with a specific meaning. Many of these words were still felt to be live cases, even in the developed period of the language; with others the consciousness of their noun character was lost.697.Three cases are used adverbially: the accusative, the ablative, and the locative.698.The rather indeterminate meaning of the accusative and the ablative is sometimes more exactly defined by a preposition. The preposition may either accompany its usual case: as,adamussim, admodum, īlicō; or it may be loosely prefixed, with more of the nature of an adverb than of a preposition, to a case with which it is not ordinarily used: as,examussim, intereā. Sometimes it stands after the noun: as,parumper,a little while. Besides the three cases named above, other forms occur, some of which are undoubtedly old case endings, though they can no longer be recognized as such: see710.(1.) Accusative.(a.)Accusative of Substantives.699.domum,homeward, home;rūs,afield;forās,out of doors(*forā-); vicem,instead;partim,in part; oldnoenumornoenu, commonnōn, forne-oenum, i.e.ūnum,not one, naught, not;admodum,to a degree, very;adamussim, examussim,to aT;adfatim,to satiety;invicem,in turn, each other.700.Many adverbs in-timand-simdenote manner (549): as,cautim,warily,statim,at once,sēnsim,perceptibly, gradually;ōstiātim,door by door,virītim,man by man,fūrtim,stealthily.(b.)Accusative of Adjectives and Pronouns.701.Neuters: all comparative adverbs in-ius(361): as,doctius,more learnedly; sominus,less,magis,more(363).prīmum,first,secundum, secondly, &c.;tum,then(to-,that):commodum,just in time;minimum,at least,potissimum,in preference,postrēmum,at last,summum,at most;versum,toward,rursum, russum, rūsum,back;facile,easily,impūne,scotfree,recēns,lately,semel,once(simili-),simul,together(simili-).

Many denote manner: as,arcānō,privily,sēriō,in earnest. Some are formed from participles: as,auspicātō,with auspices taken;compositō,by agreement. A plural is rare:alternīs,alternately.705.Instead of-ō, neuter ablatives commonly have-ē: as,longē,far,doctē,wisely. So also superlatives:facillimē,most easily, ancientlyFACILVMED(362). Consonant stems have-e: as,repente,suddenly.706.From pronouns some end in-ī(689): as,quī,how?indefinite,quī,somehow;atquī,but somehow;quī-quam,in any way at all.707.Feminines: many in-ā:ūnā,together;circā,around;contrā,against(com-,347);extrā,outside(ex,347); in classical Latin,frūstrā,in vain(fraud-).
