"From what country did they come?" (3914) and even with the relative pronoun omitted: "From where have you come?"

C. In the neuter, it is quite common, but in the pregnant sense of "that which" Latin original: id quod, in both the nominative and accusative cases; for example:

• 223: "that which there was of the faithful" Compare French: ce qu’il y avait de
• 287: "in what T. did" Compare 120: "in what they did of mockery"
• 726: "what you have said is enough"
• 792: "all the wrong he did"
• 998: "what there was of gold"
• 1096: "what he says"
• 2188: "what I say"
• 2744: "what he says"
• 2858: "what they do"
• 4037: "what you did"
• 3328: a "what he said" Compare 85: "in what he said of evil"
• 5268: "what you used to say"
• 5510: "what they said"
• 6731²: "what eye sees, what ear hears"
• 6882: "what the prophet sang"
• 7191: "what you (plural) did"
• 7298: "those of them that are negative"
• 7368²: "what came, what will come"
• 7389, 90: "all the sickness he got"
• 7485: "all that I could get"
• 7574: "what he brings"
• 7639: "what he says"
• 7646: "what came of evil"
• 7987: "what is in the prayer."

— Sometimes the definite article precedes it, for example:

• 497: "in all the seed that was there"
• 501: "in all the hardship I found"
• 797: "in what I did"
• 2358: "in what you argue"
• 2382: "in what I say"
• 2429: "in what I say"
• 2646: "(he knew) what would come of it"
• 5950: "what you will do" (but compare 6081).

From this has arisen the partitive usage A grammatical structure indicating a part of a whole, with cech ("every") preceding it, for example:

• 2784: "every healing (of that which) he does"
• 2911: "at the sight of everything that was done there"
• 7338: "every good that he did"
• 7339, 40; 7535: "every consumption that is made"
• 7538: "everything you get"
• 7541: "every single touch that you will do"
• 7611: "everything that you will find"

— hence even without cech:

• 7318: "any man of those now living"
• 7551: "any garment that was"
• 7816: "any deed that is done."
