Partitive plural is a grammatical number that may have been invented by J.R.R. Tolkien for his fictional language, Quenya. It refers to more than one object that is nevertheless only part of a larger number; three out of four of something. It is one of four numbers in Quenya, the others being singular, dual and plural.
