"mass" and "count" are grouped under "countability". "group" (collectives, I suppose) are sposta be a different feature, I think, though they could be probably referred to as 'variably countable', i.e. mass or count, depending. *Muke! -- http://frath.net/ E jer savne zarjé mas ne http://kohath.livejournal.com/ Se imné koone'f metha http://kohath.deviantart.com/ Brissve mé kolé adâ.
