<h1>Attorney fees awarded only to prevailing parties under specific statutory provisions creates narrow eligibility requirements.</h1> The word 'only' functions as an exclusionary term meaning 'and no one or nothing more besides' or 'alone of its or their kind.' Dictionary definitions establish it as an adverb meaning solely, merely, or exclusively, and as an adjective meaning single or solitary. Legal interpretation requires examining the word's placement and context, as established in case law stating that words vary in meaning according to circumstances and time of use. The positioning of 'only' within a sentence materially affects its meaning and scope of exclusion.
