A Few
A Little, Just
な adjective, adverb, noun, の adjective
When something is slight, that means you only have a few or a little of that thing.
僅か is a relatively formal word that indicates a small amount. You'll hear it when someone wants to emphasize how little something is, like 僅かな差 (a little gap) or 僅か10分 (just ten minutes). Note this word is often written in kana, as わずか, unless the writing style is very formal.
When people have just a few of something, wars (わず) tend to break out. So many wars have started because there was only a little of something and people began to fight over it.
