...i.e. its feminine nominative; quod or quid, i.e. its neuter nominative; cuius, i.e. genitive; quem, quam, quod, i.e. its nominative in masculine, feminine, and neuter (or quid). A quo vel qui, a qua vel qui, a quo vel qui, i.e. its ablative in these three places, in masculine, feminine, and neuter; that is its singular in masculine, feminine, and neuter. And here is its plural, pluraliter: qui, que, que (or qua), quorum, quarum, quorum, quis (or quibus), quos, quas, que (or qua), a quis (or a quibus). How many parts of speech does the word "cid" appear in? In two: in the indefinite name (denying that it is specific, i.e. there is no determination about it) and as an adverb (stating that it is not a verb, i.e. quod for cur, as it is said). These are its functions according to Latin; and it is sufficient for the origin of every word to attribute it to Latin. In Gaelic, however, "cid" means "what thing" or "what law," as its indication. "Cid" is its use. No analysis of it can be found, but if it were to be found, it would be "cid," i.e., "cai ead"—"cai" meaning path, and "ead" meaning law—the "path of law." This is the word through which perfect sense is drawn, and here is an example:

"Ead" meaning law,
Is found in the language of the poets:
A path, a law that is due without exception,
Is what poetry accounts it.

Names of the word "cid" properly,
In the four chief languages:
"Cae" from the Hebrews, according to time,
"Coé" from Greek, "quid" from Latin;
It is true for every person, it is no lie,
And "cid" in the Gaelic.

And it is a monosyllabic singular, for there are two interrogatives there: a plural interrogative and a singular interrogative. The plural interrogative has three divisions: "cislir," "cisne," and "caidead." "Cislir," i.e., how many, or what is the number of the host? "Cisne," i.e., what are the classes of the host? "Caidead," i.e., who are they, the host, or where are the host?
