(sometimes it is used merely as a strengthened substitute for किम्). When followed by च and preceded by यतम it means ‘any whosoever’, ‘whatsoever’. In negative sentences कतम with चन or अपि means ‘not even one’, ‘none at all’ It also means ‘best or excessively good-looking’.
Monier Williams Cologne
Englishकतम॑ (अस्), (आ), (अत्), (superlative of 2. क
declined as a , 236), who or which of many? (e.g. कतमेन पथा यातास् ते, by which road have they gone?)
hence it may occasionally be used for ‘who or which of two?’ (e.g. तयोः कतमस्मै, to which of these two?)
it may optionally be compounded with the word to which it refers (e.g. कतमः कठः, or कतम-कठः, which Kaṭha out of many?)
when followed by च and preceded यतम an indefinite expression is formed equivalent to ‘any whosoever’, ‘any whatsoever’, (e.g. यतमद् एव कतमच् च विद्यात् he may know anything whatsoever). In negative sentences कतम with चन or कतम with अपि not even one, none at all (e.g. न कतमच्चनाहः, not even on a single day, on no day at all)
Monier Williams 1872
Englishकतम कतम, अस्, आ, अत् (superlative of 2. क
declined as a pronom., Gram. 236), who or which of
many ? (e. g. कतमेन पथा यातास् ते, by which
road have they gone?). कतम is often a mere
strengthened substitute for क, the superlative affix
imparting emphasis. Hence it may occasionally be
used for ‘who or which of two?’ (e. g. तयोः कत-
मस्मै, to which of these two ?). It may option-
ally be compounded with the word to which it refers
(e. g. कतमः कठः or कतम-कठः, which
Kaṭha out of many?). When followed by च and
preceded by यतम an indefinite expression is
formed equivalent to ‘any whosoever, ’ ‘any whatso-
ever, ’ &c. (e. g. यतमद् एव कतमच् च विद्यात्,
he may know anything whatsoever). In negative
sentences कतम with चन or कतम with अपि
= not even one, none at all (e. g. न कतमच्-
चनाहः, not even on a single day, on no day at
all). In addition to the above uses कतम is said to
mean ‘best, ’ ‘excessively good-looking
’ [cf. 3. क।]
—कतमोरग (°म-उर्°), अस्, m., N. of a man.
