Cid (चिद्).— (properly acc. n. of a lost indefinite pronoun ci = [Latin] qui + s), a particle giving to the preceding word an indefinite signification: Any, Chr. 292, 5 = [Rigveda.] i. 86, 5; Chr. 290, 3 = [Rigveda.] i. 64, 3. All, Chr. 288, 3 = [Rigveda.] i. 49, 3. In classic language it is only used after derivatives of the interrogative pronouns kim, and jatu, and gives them an indefinite signification; cf. katham, kadā, kim, kutas, kva, and jātu.

— Cf. [Latin] -que (= Oscan -pid) in quando-que = kadā cid, (qui)-cumque = kam cid.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
