<div>These are the two standard uses of
German <i>jeder</i>:<br>
Jeder Gast / Jeder der Gäste bekam eine Rose. 'Each guest received
a rose.'<br>
<br>
Jeder Nachtisch, den du bringst, wird willkommen sein. 'Any
dessert you bring will be welcome.'<br>
Jede umfassende Grammatik des Deutschen, die du konsultierst, wird
dir dasselbe sagen. 'Any comprehensive grammar of German that you
consult will tell you the same.'<br>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm wondering if anyone has come across a quantifier that
can mean both 'each' in a distributive universal quantifier
sense, as well as 'any', not in an NPI sense but in a 'any
dessert you bring will be welcome' sense? I'm aware of a
reduplicative construction with this meaning in Ewe, though
I'm not sure it has been given a formal analysis.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please write me a message if you've encountered a similar
sort of quantifier, even better if you have some resources or
papers you'd be willing to share. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>
