A few
a small number of persons or things. this phrase can differ slightly from few used alone, which means “not many.” for example, the party was to end at eight, but a few stayed on indicates that a small number of guests remained, whereas the party began at eight, and few attended means that hardly any guests came. [ late 1200s ]
