In those case where it cannot refer to a noun (or adjective), nor to a clause or thought, but rather to a specific adverb, you could call it an anaphoric adverbial? Much terminology! | |

Unde asks the question of where? for example Unde venit Medus? or Where is Medus coming from? Ubi asks the question Where( location)? For example Ubi habitat Medus? or Where does Medus live? | |
| Jun 30, 2017 at 22:13 | comment | added | Anonym | @brianpck I don't think the line is so clear. Ubi often behaves more like a locative pronoun than as a pure adverb; e.g. in something like Q. Ubi est? A. Est domi. it literally stands in for a locative noun. Either way, it is in origin a pronoun (quo + bi). | |

| Jun 30, 2017 at 19:36 | comment | added | brianpck | I'm not good enough with the technical terms: I think ubi is a relative adverb, quo is a relative pronoun, and in quo is a relative adverbial prepositional phrase...so I guess the current wording works :) | |
| Jun 30, 2017 at 19:31 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta♦ | @brianpck I changed the wording. Both ubi nor in quo are indeed relative adverbs (although ubi is perhaps more commonly interrogative when referring to place). Does the question make more sense now? | |
