Outline
• whatever:
      1. 1. quīcunque: used both adjectively and, in the neuter, substantively: by whatever method I could, quacunque potui ratione, Cic.: whatever you see, quodcunque vides, Prop.: with genitive of noun: whatever soldiers you can gather, quodcunque militum contrahere poteritis, Cic. Att. 8, 12, A.
      2. 2. quisquis: the neuter quicquid is chiefly substantive, constr. like quodcunque; but in other genders and cases it is used adjectively: whatever man, quisquis homo, Pl.: with whatever design he did it, quoquo consilio fecit, Cic. ("Quicunque" and "quisquis" are both used when among a number of specimens in a class none is excepted; but "quisquis" appears more summarily to dismiss the specimens as equal among themselves: e. g.: quodcunque est, tibi habe, take all that there is: quicquid est tibi habe, take anything or everything that there is, it is all the same. Perhaps too "quicquid" leaves it more uncertain whether there is much or little).

WHATEVER, WHATSOEVER Copy link
• WHATEVER, WHATSOEVER
quicumque: quisquis (the first adjeciively; the second substantively [but quisquis honos, etc., Verg.]; in the oblique cases this is not observed). By whatever means I can, quacumque ratione; quoquo modo. OBS. (1) Whatever it may be, is quidquid est or erit (not subjunctively). (2) Cuicuimodi is found for cujuscujusmodi = of what kind soever (Vid: Zumpt, ad Cic., Verr., 4, 41). (3) Quicumque is used if among a number of subjects of the same species or kind none is excepted or excluded: quisquis, whenever among such a number none of the parts is different or considered as such from the rest; e.g., whatever [= anything, all] we see with our eyes, omnia quae oculis cernimus.
