Paucal number

In linguistics, paucal is a number that specifies 'a few' things. This is in contrast to singular (1 thing), dual (2 things), trial (3 things), plural (many things), collective (a set of things), singulative plural (one thing composed from many pieces). Probably there are more possible numbers.
