all alone
"All alone in wilderness" comes my mind, say a wild horse in a vast grass land or something.
As for たった ......
This is adverb, not verb.
Like Kanazawa-san referenced from Daijisen, it is a word spared for "small quantity of things", but also used to emphasize the tininess of that amount.

Comment: "Thank you, humbird! I use たった in your context all the time, but late at night, I couldn't get a possible verb pronunciation out of my mind. Thank you for your quick, clear response. :-)"
