Nitpick: "quidquid" meaning whatever is one word not two words. While ancient Latin didn't have spacing between words, we can see that in this sort of context it was intended as a single word because Latin allows a lot of word order rearrangement and "quidquid" didn't get split up (as I understand that). "Quid" means "what" but "quidquid" means "whatever" or "anything".
And there's a disclaimer necessary here that I haven't taken Latin in a decade so I could be wrong but I don't think I am.
He's right, as far as I studied.
