If the governor narrows the reference to a certain amount of the [ss Whole], the construal [ss QuantityItem--Whole] is used—see [exref 018 QuantityItem].
Note that this only applies if the governor is a measure term; it does not apply to distinctive parts like “layers” [exref 005 Whole] and “prongs” [exref 007 Whole], even if a count is specified.

The prepositions [p en/between] and [p en/among] can impose [ss Whole] construals by combining two or more items in the object NP (contrast with [exref 031 Whole]):

- [ex 036 "The negotiations [p en/by Agent] the parties went well. ([ss Agent])"]

In v1, <i>Superset</i> was distinguished as a subtype of [ss Whole] for examples such as [exref 027 Whole], but the distinction was dropped for v2
