Recently I learnt three words, they are "mouthful", "fistful" and "handful". All of them have the meaning of the quantity that a mouth/fist/hand can hold. They can be used like that: It was a delicious meal. We enjoyed every mouthful/ she seized a fistful of paper towels/The children collected seashells by the handful. Although some of them have other implication, such as the mouthful can describe a complicated long word, but all of them are quantifiers(or measure words). Could you tell me some more words that composed by a word of an object that can hold things + ful.
