To Everyone--
My teacher taught us about the interrogative pronouns and adjectives last semester, providing a chart at the time, which declined the interrogative much like we would decline a noun, with Masc and Fem., neuter and singular and plural. However, she is now teaching us indefinite pronouns and adjectives, and although they are very simiular, she has not provided a chart like she did with the interrogatives.
If there is someone here who understands what I'm talking about, could you provide me with just such a chart? It could be included in one of these replies, as the following chart on interrogatives shows:
SINGULAR PLURAL
masc./fem. neuter Masc./Fem. Neuter
nom. ti/s ti/ ti/nes ti/na
gen. ti/nos ti/nwn
dat. ti/ni ti/si(n)
acc. ti/na ti/ ti/nas
ti/na

hi, see:

that's the attic table; if you're studying homer, see pharr ss768-9.
the interrogatives and indefinites are basically the same, other than (a) the accents, (b) the alternatives for the neut pl nom/acc of the indefinites, and (c) the word placement, i.e.
ti/j a)/nqrwpos; "what man?"
a)/nqrwpo/j tij "a man"
if there's an emphasis on the indefinite however, it can keep its accent, e.g.
o( ti\j a)/nqrwpoj "a man"
(for an e.g. of this last e.g., see aristotle 1b line 4:
