27.4 Adding the prefix τοι– makes οὗτος αὕτη τοῦτο refer to the quality of someone or something: this type, this kind or this sort (of). The inflection of this pronoun exhibits the following pattern:

  • The prefix τοι– is added to all forms, and replaces the initial τ found in some inflected forms of οὗτος αὕτη τοῦτο.
  • The stem τοιουτ– changes to τοιαυτ– if the case ending includes either an η or an α.
  • The persistent accent is on the penult.
