For some two distinctions are made for countable and uncountable:

ewn-01558420-s (Interlingual Index: i8531)
(s) some

relatively much but unspecified in amount or extent "we talked for some time" "he was still some distance away"

ewn-01556991-s (Interlingual Index: i8524)
(s) some

relatively many but unspecified in number "they were here for some weeks" "we did not meet again for some years"

Is this actually a sense distinction made in English?

How do we answer this question:

Is this actually a sense distinction made in English?

This is issue #243 right?
