Adjectival pronouns (Pronomina adjectiva)

The circumflex accent ( ˆ ) is used to denote the length of the vowels.

The declension of the adjectival pronouns follows the pattern of the adjectives of First and Second declensions, but Gen. sg. and Dat. sg. have the endings –ius and –i that are specific to the pronominal paradigm, cf. the declension of totus, a, um:
 

Cases	Singular				Plural
	m	f	n		m	f	n
Nom.	totus	tota	totum		toti	totae	tota
Gen.	totîus				totôrum	totârum	totôrum
Dat.	toti				totis
Acc.	totum	totam	totum		totos	totas	tota
Abl.	totô	totâ	totô		totis

There are ten adjectival pronouns in Latin:

alius, alia, aliud other, another
alter, altera, alterum one of two, another
neuter, neutra, neutrum neither
nullus, nulla, nullum no, none, not any
solus, sola, solum only, single, alone
totus, tota, totum the whole, entire
ullus, ulla, ullum any
unus, una, unum one, only, alone
uter?, utra?, utrum? which of two?
uterque, utraque, utrumque whichever of two

The Acc. sg. n. of alius is aliud.
