几

• Concrete: A small table, low stand, or armrest. Typically associated with interior spaces, courtly settings, scholarly studies, and the placement of books or writing implements.
• Numerical/Interrogative: "How many?" (interrogative) or "a few/several" (indefinite quantifier).
• Adverbial: "Almost," "nearly," or "on the verge of."

• Quantifier: In its numerical sense, it typically modifies the noun that follows.
• Modal Adverb: In its adverbial sense, it modifies a verb or state to indicate an event that nearly occurred but did not.

The glyph operates in three distinct semantic directions; the translator must determine if the context is physical (furniture), numerical (quantity/question), or modal (proximity).

Variants U+51E0 and U+5E7E are interchangeable.

The glyph is visually intuitive as a "table" in early scripts, though it functions purely as a token when used in numerical or adverbial senses.
