I wonder if we can use "albeit + a noun", not an adverb.
I tried google book with several nouns, but none came out anything.

Is it wrong, or can anyone come up with any example? Thanks

Can I say, albeit has the same meaning as nonetheless?

The problem is small, albeit a serious one.

Hi,
I'd say 'albeit' is similar to 'though'.
