+ ==Pronunciation==
+ * IPA (Classical): [ˈɪl.lɪk], [ɪlˈlɪk]^(Wiktionary)
+ * IPA (Ecclesiastical): [ˈil.lik], [ilˈlik]^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Forms==
+ '''illic''' (feminine illaec, neuter illuc or illucce or illoc); demonstrative pronoun^(Wiktionary)
+ Besides ''illic, illaec, illuc'' there are the accusatives ''illunc, illanc'', the ablatives ''illōc, illāc'' and a plural ''illisce''.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ The pronoun is formed [[af|la|ille|-ce|t1=that|t2=here, there]], with the final vowel of the particle lost, like [[istic]] and [[hic]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) Paulus' abridgement of Festus records an archaic ⟨ollic⟩.^(Lewis & Short 1879) [[m|la|ille]] replaced older ⟨olle⟩, ⟨ollus⟩; its ⟨i-⟩ is usually explained by the influence of [[iste]].^(de Vaan 2008)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ Köbler dates it from Plautus,^(Köbler 2010) who has ''in illisce habitat aedibus'', “he lives in that house there”.^(OLD 2012) Ennius asks ''quis illaec est?'', “who is that woman?”.^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ ''Illic'' is “that (over there)”, of something the speaker points to, and “that” of something already mentioned or known.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) As a pronoun it is “that man, that thing” (Plautus: ''illic vocātur Philocratēs, hic Tyndareus'', “that one is called Philocrates, this one Tyndareus”) and “that same man”.^(OLD 2012) Paired with ''hic'' it is “this … that”, as in Catullus' ''modo hōc modo illōc'', “now in this metre, now in that”.^(OLD 2012) L&S note that it is only ante-classical.^(Lewis & Short 1879)
+
+ In Medieval Latin it is also used with a dative sense, “to it”.^(Niermeyer 1976)
+

+ '''illīc''' (not comparable)^(Wiktionary)
+ The older form ''illī'' is found in Terence and Virgil.^(Lewis & Short 1879)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ The adverb is formed from [[m|la|illī|t=there]], an old locative of [[m|la|ille|t=that]], with the particle [[m|la|-ce]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) It is built like [[hīc]] and [[istīc]].^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ Köbler dates it from Plautus,^(Köbler 2010) who has ''quid illaec illīc in cōnsiliō duae sēcrētō cōnsultant?'', “what are those two women there secretly discussing?”.^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ ''Illīc'' is “in that place, over there”, “there” of a place already named, and “in that situation, in such circumstances” (Plautus of love: ''quot illīc blanditiae, quot illīc īrācundiae sunt!'', “how many caresses there are in it, how many quarrels!”).^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) L&S note that it is most frequent in early Latin.^(Lewis & Short 1879)
