"Few are" means?

time_to_go

As I was reviewing my old notes, I've noticed that I wrote the definition of "few are" as some are/SOME ARE NOT but "few not" as most are/some are not.

Shouldn't "few are" mean some are / MOST ARE NOT?

I can't believe I'm still confused about this concept..wow. English.

some are , most are not

In my notes for "few" I have "some are" "most are not"

And on my scale I have
None: 0
Few: 1-49
Some: 1-100
Most: 51-100

Many = Some

I also have a note that few is contextual based on sample size, but that's a really early note.
