Qua

Qua means acting in the capacity of a certain title or position. It is used after identifying a person to signify that the rest of the statement pertains to that person in their specific role.

After being elected as the new CEO, John, qua CEO, made some important changes to the company's policies.

In the case of New Jersey v. Delaware, the Supreme Court ruled that Delaware, qua state, had the right to control the Delaware River.

The examples illustrate how "qua" is used to specify a person's role or position in a statement. In the first example, "qua CEO" indicates that the changes made by John were made in his capacity as the CEO of the company. In the second example, "qua state" clarifies that the ruling applies to Delaware as a state, rather than to any other entity associated with Delaware.
