n looks good to me (without having thought too deeply on the topic)

  Comments:
Question marks should only be used for sentences.
I think the kokugos classify 何[counter] terms as nouns, but the definitions often end in "...のときに用いる語", "...を表す", etc. so it feels like a separate category to me. Is the "何人" in "何人いる?" considered adverbial? The "what ..." (as opposed to "how many ...") terms seem to function only as nouns.
GG5 and meikyo and have the third sense. I think it should stay.
I think the "what article" sense should lead.

  Refs:
何番,何個,何ヶ月,何人,何分,何回,何年 are n
なんぼ is adv
何万年,何度 are both
何割,何年間,何年生,何座,何日 are exp

we need to standardize PoS for these.


aslo very few (or maybe none, max 1-2) of these have question marks in the glosses.
  Comments:
I suggest removing sense 3, should be a separate entry relaly (but it's arch, so)
