SokaWhat is a several obligation?
I have no idea what a several obligation is. I've never heard of such a thing. Is it a legal term?

The question is correct, but unfortunately it's not got anything to do with the question the original poster asked. The original question focuses on the ordinary meaning of several -- a small number of.

I got it. Emotion: smile You mean to say that an article cannot be put before 'several' if it implies 'a small number of'.
