page
When used as a noun for paper or websites, "page" is a countable noun. You can say "a page" or "many pages." In the context of summoning someone (the verb), it is most common in professional settings like hospitals or large offices. When you "page through" something, it implies a quick but systematic search, rather than reading every word carefully.
