Number

Number is a classification by the amount being represented.

The familiar number categories of European languages are:

• singular: one thing
• plural: more than one thing (also used for portions or lack of things)

The other specific numbers commonly represented are dual (two things) and trial (three things). There are also non-specific number categories, such as paucal (few things).
