This category would benefit from a review. Some entries are in the category, but lack the PoS header. Some multi-word terms look like DET + DET or ADV + ADJ. Some like atta simply look mistaken. DCDuring TALK 01:16, 8 March 2013 (UTC) We should add 'extra', which, like 'plenty' is both a determiner and a pronoun, as in: "We have extra marbles." and "As for marbles, we have extra." This is one of a number of determiners or quantifiers that describe sufficiency, abundance, and excess — such as: enough, plenty, ample, too much, too many, etc.Reply

Additionally, we should add "some odd" as an indeterminate quantifier or determiner which indicates an unknown, variable, random, or too trivial or unimportant to bother specifying number of X. for reference, see: https://grammarist.com/usage/some-odd/
