SOMEBODY
aliquis: quispiam: aliquispiam: quisquam: ullus: (1) aliquis aliqua aliquid substantive; aliquis or aliqui aliqua aliquod adjective: (2) aliquispiam quispiam ([substantive and adjective; but usually quispiam is found as a substantive and aliquispiam as an adjective; Zumpt § 129] relate to a multitude intimating that it is immaterial which individual of that number is thought of. Quispiam often in objections; e.g. somebody will say dixerit quispiam): quidam (a certain one whom it is not necessary to specify). ☞ Aliquis indefinite and affirmative; also like our “somebody ” used for “a person of consequence”: si vis esse aliquis: ego quoque sum aliquid (Cic.): quispiam (substantive) and ullus (adjective) are indefinite and negative; therefore also in interrogative clauses where a negative is implied.
