"group" , "set", "aggregate" and "collection" are all words that describe (in different contexts) more than one single item. But context is everything.

Okay, context) Let's say I want to describe how many items a container has inside it and also how many it can possibly have inside. "Empty container" is a container that has no items in it currently, but it can have more. "Full container" contains who knows how many items, but it cannot hold any more. How would I call a container that: 1) contains exactly one item; 2) contains more than one item and is not full; 3) can contain no more than one item; 4) can contain multiple items.
