Meanings and usage

classifier: classifier for money: dollar, yuan, hoop; ring
箍

The single Teochew reading kou1 covers several senses (a plain noun 'hoop/ring', a verb 'to bind', and a classifier for money explicitly tagged Teochew); the money-classifier sense was chosen as most distinctively Teochew/colloquial, but this is a judgment call.
