ANNAR, tagged as OTHER; AÐRIR tagged as OTHERS (See also Treatment of individual words)

EINHVER and eitthvað, etc, are tagged ONE+Q (when the meaning is "some"), not ONE+WPRO

HVORTVEGGJA and hvorirtveggja, hvorartveggja, etc., are tagged Q+NUM

HVERGI Q+WADV

Quantifiers without a "special treatment", i.e. tagged as Q:

ALLUR 'everyone', BÁÐIR 'both', EKKERT 'nothing', ENGINN 'no one', NEINN 'no one, (not) any', NOKKUR 'any, anybody' (usually Q; see Treatment of individual words), MARGUR 'many' (but not mikill and lítill)
