Current Entryほとんど人;殆ど人 [ほとんどひと] /(n) most people/ (1011670)
Headword 1ほとんど人
Headword 2殆ど人
Reading 1ほとんどひと
Part-of-speechn
English 1most people
Commentsince ほとんど isn't actually modifying 人, but whatever verb it's used in conjunction with, i don't think this should be an entry it's not even grammatically correct. e.g. from eijiro:
• ほとんど人が住まない
 【形】
   half-deserted

it doesn't mean that "most people don't live there", it means that it's "mostly uninhabited"

Editorial Comment I agree. I have turned that entry into "ほとんどの人", which is quite common.
