+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''aliōquī''' (not comparable)^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ''aliōquīn''.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|alius|t=other]] and [[m|la|quī|t=how, in what way]], an old ablative, as if “in some other way”; the TLL takes it from an ablative of ⟨aliud quid⟩ “something else”.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) The form ⟨aliōquīn⟩ arose as [[m|la|atquīn]] beside [[m|la|atquī]], and [[m|la|cēterōquī]] is formed alike.^(TLL) De Vaan traces ⟨quī⟩ to the instrumental [[ine-pro|*kʷih₁]] of the pronoun stem “who, what”.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler gives Lucretius as its first author: a body ''aliōquī splendidus'', “sound in other respects”.^(Köbler 2010)^(OLD 2012) In prose the TLL finds it from Livy on.^(TLL)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means “in other respects” and “as a rule, at other times” (Curtius on the multitude, otherwise unruly, but obedient to seers when caught by superstition).^(OLD 2012) With sentences it is “in any event, besides” (Celsus).^(OLD 2012) It marks what would follow if things were otherwise, “otherwise, else”, also after a command: Petronius' Trimalchio warns his darling that otherwise she will feel his temper.^(OLD 2012) In Pliny the Elder it is “as a matter of fact, all the same”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “otherwise, in other respects”.^(Stelten 1995)
