quicunque

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /kʷiːˈkun.kʷe/,
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /kwiˈkun.kwe/,

quīcunque or quiscunque (feminine quaecunque or quacunque, neuter quodcunque); relative/interrogative pronoun (with m optionally → n in compounds) with an indeclinable portion

1. Alternative form of quīcumque

Relative/interrogative pronoun (with m optionally → n in compounds) with an indeclinable portion.

¹In Republican Latin or earlier, alternative spellings could be found for the following forms of quī/quis and its compounds: the masculine nominative singular or plural quī (old spelling quei), the genitive singular cuius (old spelling quoius), the dative singular cui (old spelling quoi or quoiei), the dative/ablative plural quīs (old spelling queis).
²When used as an indefinite word (pronoun or adjective), the feminine nominative singular and neuter nominative/accusative plural is usually qua (with short ă) instead of quae. Indefinite quă is generally only found directly after sī, nisi, num, or nē 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.
