"New Latin Grammar"


a. So sometimes with adverbs; as,--
ali?« ali?? fugiunt, _some flee in one direction, others in another_.
3. The Latin also expresses the notion '_each other_' by means of alius
repeated; as,--
Gall?« alius alium cohort??t?« sunt, _the Gauls encouraged each other_.
4. C?“ter?« means _the rest_, _all the others_; as,--
c?“ter?«s praest??re, _to be superior to all the others_.
5. Reliqu?« means _the others_ in the sense of _the rest_, _those
remaining_,--hence is the regular word with numerals; as,--
reliqu?« sex, _the six others_.
6. Nescio quis forms a compound indefinite pronoun with the force of _some
one or other_; as,--
causidicus nescio quis, _some pettifogger or other_;
m?«sit nescio quem, _he sent some one or other_;
nescio qu?? pact??, _somehow or other_.

2. Agreement in Gender. In the compound forms of the verb the participle
regularly agrees with its subject in gender; as,--
s?“diti?? repressa est, _the mutiny was checked_.
