- c. 995, Ælfric, Extracts on Grammar in English
Of þām naman quis cumaþ þrēo genitīvī æfter ealdre sprǣċe: cuius (masculīnum), cuia (feminīnum), cuium (neutrum). Ac wē ne ġīemaþ nā swīðe on þissum dagum þissa genitīvō, ac brūcaþ þæs ānes on ǣlcum cynne: cuius hominis ("hwelċes mannes" oþþe "þæs mannes"), cuius fēminae, cuius animālis.- The word quis has three genitives in archaic speech: cuius (masculine), cuia (feminine), cuium (neuter). But we don't bother with those genitives much these days; instead we use the first one for all genders: cuius hominis ("which person's" or "that person's"), cuius feminae, cuius animalis.
