8. Fán 凡 characterises a topic adnominally as forming the general subject or topic in a non-narrative statement of principle.

"In principle" is much to be preferred.

Old Chinese Contrasts
2. Some quantifiers typically quantify over individualised items gè 各, others over groups or masses jìn 盡.
3. Some quantifiers are pre-nominal in function standing before the noun that is their scope zhū 諸, qún 群, others are pre-verbal and adverbial, standing before the verb-phrase.
4. Jiān 兼 is an object quantifier which says that the transitive verb it precedes applies to each of the objects in its own right.
>>ADVERBAL; OBJECT-BINDING, INDIVIDUAL
5. Fán 凡 "generally" and fán 凡 "altogether" are marginal in this group because they do not quantify over any objects.
NP: a whole range of nouns can be used to refer to all things referred to by these nouns when they are used in "adverbial" position. Rì 日 "every day", yuè 月 "every month"; suì 歲 "every year"; zhōu 州 "each province"; jùn 郡 "every commandery"; xiàn 縣 "every district"; jiā 家 "every clan".
6. Jù 俱 quantifies over subjects, jù 具 typically means "all of the objects", although there is room for inaccuracies in orthography, and there often are variants in different editions.
7. Jiē 偕, when used as a quantifier, adds the notion of contemporaneity to that of universal quantification.

- Oppos: 我/EGO
Wǒ 我 is contrastive and emphatic by Warring States times (in OBI it was not yet in opposition to wú 吾 and was the standard unmarked pronoun during earlier stages of the language). The word freely occurs in subject, mofifying, and object position and often has an idiomatic meaning like "I for my part" and the formal slightly depersonalised "our party". NB: The word also serves as an impersonal pronoun meaning "one", German man, French on. - Oppos: 我/WE
- Oppos: 身/SELF
Shēn 身 typically refers to the subject in a contrastive way, and the word is often hard to distinguish from the nominal concept of a person. Adverbially, the word is different from PERSONALLY in that it does not connote distinction in the agent. - Oppos: 一人/ONE
