Illustration: At a neighborhood greengrocer, a customer holds open a small reusable bag while the shopkeeper tips a modest handful of mandarins into it. A few fruits are already inside and a few remain cupped in the shopkeeper’s hands, partially overlapping so the quantity is not presented as an exact tally.
