Until the early 20th century, ''million'' behaved much like an ordinary quantificational noun (such as {{m|en|pair}} or {{m|en|handful}}). That is, it inflected in the plural when modified by a numeral greater than 1, and was separated from the noun it quantified with {{m|en|of}}, as in: ''five millions of pounds'' (rather than the modern equivalent, ''five million pounds'').
