Nouns of quantity and number

We have seen nouns of quantity and number before.

Both gach and a h–uile were seen at A1 and mòran agus iomadh were seen at A2.

Grunn, deannan and dòrlach can be seen in the passage above, and meall, dad and càil may be used, among many other words. They were all seen in the drama above as well.
