This is probably more understandable now that I've used the correct
word.
Looked at the incorrect row in the Dictionary.

Yes, that's what I thought I had said here. I like to show the
thought process, it's easier to see where you go along the incorrect
path that way.

:)
So how would I say "A small amount of <someting>".

Well to tell you the truth, I worked out what it should be, then
looked up that section of the dictionary and it had that word there,
but with different orders of the suffixes to mine. So I moved
the -qu', as I wanted more of a "I will not be afraid to KILL you",
rather than "I will NOT be afraid to kill you".
I think it's page 49 of TKD.
