| Morphological Notes | Interrogative determiner/pronoun; neuter singular (nominative/accusative). Also attested in genitive feminine plural in other forms of this lexeme. |
| Rendering Rationale | As neuter singular nominative/accusative, it asks about amount or extent in a general or abstract sense. The rendering "how much" preserves the interrogative inquiry into quantity appropriate to the neuter singular form. |
