[Tlhingan-hol] puS
<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>The definition for {puS} in TKD has always bothered me - <span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">be few, be several, be a handful.</span>
<div><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">To me a handful is a few, but several is more than that. I wouldn't put these together in meaning.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I usually just ignore the "several" entry and use {law'} instead for several/many.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">How do others reconcile this?</span></div>
