ullus

From Proto-Italic *oinelos, diminutive of Proto-Italic *oinos (“one”), akin to Latin ūnus, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *óynos.

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈuːl.lus/, [ˈuːlːʲʊs̠]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈul.lus/, [ˈulːus]

ūllus (feminine ūlla, neuter ūllum); first/second-declension adjective (pronominal)

1. (chiefly in the negative) any

   Lēctiō sine ūllā dēlectātiōne.

   A reading without any enjoyment.

• Ūllus is usually found in negative sentences. It corresponds to aliquis (“some”) in affirmations.
• Ūllus (“any”) is typically an adjective and quisquam (“any(one)”) a pronoun, but the opposite usages are also found. In particular, with masculine nouns that referred to persons, Cicero seems to have preferred quisquam over ūllus in the nominative, genitive, and dative cases (e.g. quisquam scrīptor, cuiusquam scrīptōris, cuiquam scrīptōrī), and used both quemquam and ūllum in the accusative (e.g. quemquam scrīptōrem, ūllum scrīptōrem).[1]

First/second-declension adjective (pronominal).

The declension ūllī in the genitive singular is rare but attested in Old Latin texts such as Truculentus by Plautus
