PRONOMINAL ADJECTIVES.

92. The following adjectives, also, frequently have pronominal force:--


1. alius, _another;_ alter, _the other;_
uter, _which of two?_ (interr.); neuter, _neither;_
_whichever of two_ (rel.);
ūnus, _one_; nūllus, _no one_ (in oblique
cases)

2. The compounds,--

uterque, utraque, utrumque, _each of two;_
utercumque, utracumque, utrumcumque, _whoever of two;_
uterlibet, utralibet, utrumlibet, _either one you please;_
utervīs, utravīs, utrumvīs, _either one you please;_
alteruter, alterutra, alterutrum, _the one or the other_.

In these, uter alone is declined. The rest of the word remains unchanged,
except in case of alteruter, which may decline both parts; as,--

_Nom._ alteruter altera utra alterum utrum
_Gen._ alterius utrīus, etc.
