adjectives, the indefinite article a or on never Immediate-

to which It refers, or such comes after the noun preceded 
by the article : as, such a man ; such an honor ; I never

the noun. It assumes a quasi-adverbial appearance, as if 
equivalent to to: as, tuch terrible deeds; tuch reckless

tive, as when with the indefinite article : as. such a terri-
