Note— The demonstrative adverbs hīc, ibi, istīc, illīc, and their correlatives, correspond in signification with the pronouns hīc, is, iste, ille (see § 146), and are often equivalent to these pronouns with a preposition
inde = ab eō, etc.
So the relative or interrogative ubi corresponds with quī (quis), ali-cubi with aliquis, ubiubi with quisquis, sī-cubi with sīquis (see § 147 - § 151, with the table of correlatives in § 152).
