Numbers

Paucal

While paucal usually refers to any number between 2 and 6, but also up to 9 depending on the person, there are exceptions to the rule.

Dual objects

Objects that are commonly occuring two at a time, eyes, arms, hands, legs, feet etc, the paucal refer to only two then and all above uses plural.

Countable body parts

Body parts that are countable, fingers, teeth and such, but not hair as hair is just too many to count, the paucal refer to that entire quantity regardless of the acctual quantity and any subset of them, with the exception of a single one. Humans have for example 32 teeth, all of them or any subset, will still be paucal while it is far above the usual paucal level.
