Latin declension of the pronoun qui, quae, quod
The full case paradigm of the relative and interrogative pronoun, singular and plural, in mirror script
This page is given over to a Latin grammar exercise: the complete declension of the pronoun qui, quae, quod ('who, which, what'), set out case by case in Leonardo's mirror script, first singular then plural. It runs from the nominative and genitive down through dative, accusative, and ablative, with alternative forms noted. Faint leadpoint sketches of a wheel or pulley, a long horizontal bar, and a suspended weight also mark the leaf, echoing the mechanical studies on the surrounding pages.
