Meanings and usage

classifier: centi- (unit prefix), one-thousandth (old currency subdivision, mill)
釐, 厘

The li5 reading covers several distinct measure-word senses (SI centi- prefix, old weight/currency subdivision, interest-rate unit, alt form of 嫠); the interest-rate sense was dropped since the audit found no figure in the source matched the draft, leaving the two more clearly attested senses.
