| Comment | I have not made any alteration to the above because I am still wondering what I am missing.
There is the following entry:- 何人 【なんにん】 (n) how many? (people) The entry immediately above seems to be correct so, in the main headword above, what is the difference? Well, I take it that the difference is between "なんにん" and "なんびと." Then, I am wondering whether the main headword above can be used in isolation to mean "everyone" without the presence of "も." For example, in similar mode: see "何人か 【なんにんか】 (exp) some people." If I have missed the point on this (P) entry, Please excuse the submission. I am pressing the submit button with hesitation. |

| Editorial Comment | Yes, the difference is in なんにん/なんびと. I don't think it can mean "everyone" without the も. Seems to follow the usual ...も and ...か patterns. |
