/(before an expression of quantity) only/

LA
只;僅僅。也作「纔」。
例 「他才兩歲」、「妹妹才帶五十元」、「我才懂些皮毛而已」。
https://www.moedict.tw/~%E6%89%8D

In these examples.
- 兩歲 is (perhaps) not a clause.
- 懂些皮毛而已 is a clause but it's not numerical.
Diff:
- 纔 才 [cai2] /a moment ago/just now/(indicating sth happening later than expected)/(after a condition or reason) then and only then/(followed by a numerical clause) only/
+ 纔 才 [cai2] /a moment ago/just now/(indicating sth happening later than expected)/(after a condition or reason) then and only then/(before an expression of quantity) only/
- 才 才 [cai2] /ability/talent/sb of a certain type/a capable individual/only/then and only then/just now/
+ 才 才 [cai2] /ability/talent/sb of a certain type/a capable individual/then and only then/just now/(before an expression of quantity) only/
