The '12' means that there are 12 entities which have an entry for q.
Since each directory has a '.' and '..' entry, we have:
1 entry that comes from the parent directory of q.
1 entry that comes from q itself (because it contains '.')
and thus, there are 10 subdirectories in q (they all contain '..')
Hope I made it clear.
