    Numberless means too many to count. It is a slightly old, way to say 'countless.' Poets and like it: numberless stars, numberless years, numberless faces in a crowd. In ordinary talk, most people say 'too many to count' or 'countless' instead. It does not mean 'you have no number,' and it does not mean 'without a phone number.' The -less here means 'so many that counting does not help,' not 'lacking a number.'

    無數的、數不清的(偏書面)
