	Measure word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Measure words, in linguistics, are words (or morphemes) that are used in combination with a numeral to indicate the count of nouns.
		Measure words often classify the noun they modify into some semantic class and consequently measure words are considered numeral classifiers, closely akin to grammatical gender.
		The appropriate measure word is chosen based on the kind and shape of the noun, and combines with the numeral, sometimes adopting several different forms.
