Latin quis/qui, Greek τις/τίς
Latin quis/qui, Greek τις/τίς
BMCR 2015.04.17 presents an interesting review of Camille Denizot, Emmanuel Dupraz (ed.), Latin quis/qui, grec τις/τίς: parcours et fonctionnements. Études sur deux interrogatifs-indéfinis-relatifs. , a sequence of papers on various aspects of the interrogative and indefinite pronominal forms derived from the same Proto-Indo-European stem *kwi-/*kwo-. Of course, those of this forum interested in Latin and particularly in the language of the Vulgate will find more of interest here than will those more narrowly interested in Greek usage.
