Usage notes

After a preposition, qui can only refer to people; things (including animals, objects, ideas, etc.) require the pronoun lequel. After the prepositions entre (between) and parmi (among), lesquels/lesquelles (the plural forms of lequel, the singulars being — logically — much less common) must be used whether referring to a person or a thing.

Indefinite quă is generally only found directly after , nisi, num, or and may be considered to be either enclitic to the preceding word or (in Priscian's view) forming a compound with it; accordingly, sīqua, numqua, and nēqua are sometimes written together (as also are the masculines sīquis, numquis, and nēquis). The form quă is never used for the feminine plural, nor for any form of the relative pronoun or of the interrogative pronoun or adjective.
