क the first consonant of the alphabet , and the first guttural letter (corresponding in sound to k in keep or king).

क कस्, का, किम्, interrog. pron. (See. किम्and 2. कद्, and See. the following words in which the interrogative base कappears , कतम, कतर, कति, कथम्, कदा, कर्हि, का, etc. ) , who? which? what? In its declension कfollows the pronoun तद्except in nom. acc. sing. neut. , where किम्has taken the place of कद्or कत्in classical Sanskrit

क but the old form कद्is found in the वेद(See. Gram. 227 ) ;([ cf. Zd. ka , ko7 , kA7 , kat ; Gk. ? , ? , (Ion. ? , ? ,) ? , ? ; Lat. quis , quid ; Lith. kas क; Goth. hvas , hvo7 , hva , Angl.Sax. hwa1 , hwaet ; Eng. who , what.])The interrogative sentence introduced by कis often terminated by इति( e.g. कस्य स पुत्र इति कथ्यताम्, let it be said , " whose son is he? ") , but इतिmay be omitted and the sentence lose its direct interrogative character( e.g. कस्य स पुत्रो न ज्ञायते, it is not known whose son he is). कwith or without1. अस्may express " how is it possible that? " " what power have I , you , they , etc. ? "( e.g. के मम धन्विनोऽन्ये, what can the other archers do against me? के आवाम् परित्रातुम्, what power have we to rescue you?) कis often connected with a demonstrative pron. ( e.g. को ऽयम् आयाति, who comes here?) or with the potential( e.g. को हरिं निन्देत्, who will blame हरि?) कis sometimes repeated( e.g. कः को ऽत्र, who is there? कान् कान्, whom? whom? i.e. which of them? cf. Gram. 54) , and the repetition is often due to a kind of attraction( e.g. केषां किं शास्त्रम् अध्ययनीयम्, which book is to be read by whom? Gram. 836. अ). When किम्is connected with the inst. c. of a noun or with the indecl. participle it may express " what is gained by doing so , etc. ? "(= कोऽर्थस्)Page240,3

क ( e.g. किं विलम्बेन, what is gained by delay? किम् बहुना, what is the use of more words? धनेन किं यो न ददाति, what is the use of wealth to him who does not give? with inst. and gen. , नीरुजः किम् औषधैः, what is the use of medicine to the healthy?) कis often followed by the particles इव, उ, नाम, नु, वा, स्विद्, some of which serve merely to generalize the interrogation( e.g. किम् इव एतद्, what can this be? क उ श्रवत्, who can possibly hear? को नाम जानाति, who indeed knows? को न्व् अयम्, who , pray , is this? किं नु कार्यम्, what is to be done? को वा देवाद् अन्यः, who possibly other than a god? कस्य स्विद् हृदयं ना-स्ति, of what person is there no heart?) कis occasionally used alone as an indefinite pronoun , especially in negative sentences( e.g. न कस्य को वल्लभः, no one is a favourite of any one ; ना-न्यो जानाति कः, no one else knows ; कथं स घातयति कम्, how does he kill any one?) Generally , however , कis only made indefinite when connected with the particles च, चन, चिद्, वा,and अपि, in which case कmay sometimes be preceded by the relative य( e.g. ये के च, any persons whatsoever ; यस्यै कस्यै च देवतायै, to any deity whatsoever ; यानि कानि च मित्राणि, any friends whatsoever ; यत् किंच, whatever). The particle चन, being composed of चand न, properly gives a negative force to the pronoun( e.g. यस्माद् इन्द्राद् ऋते किंचन, without which इन्द्रthere is nothing) , but the negative sense is generally dropped( e.g. कश्चन, any one ; न कश्चन, no one) , and a relative is sometimes connected with it( e.g. यत् किंचन, anything whatsoever). Examples of चिद्with the interrogative are common

क वाand अपिare not so common , but the latter is often found in classical Sanskrit( e.g. कश्चिद्, any one ; केचिद्, some ; न कश्चिद्, no one ; न किंचिद् अपि, nothing whatsoever ; यः कश्चिद्, any one whatsoever ; केचित्- केचित्, some - others ; यस्मिन् कस्मिन् वा देशे, in any country whatsoever ; न को ऽपि, no one ; न किमपि, nothing whatever). कmay sometimes be used , like 2. कद्, at the beginning of a compound.See. क-पूय, etc.
