few
| Morphological Notes | Indefinite pronoun; nominative masculine plural (Gr,RI,,,,NMP); substantive use meaning "few (ones)." |
| Rendering Rationale | The nominative masculine plural form functions substantively as an indefinite pronoun meaning "few" in number. The rendering preserves the core sense of limited quantity while reflecting its plural, nominative form. |
