Classifiers 頭/身[edit]

@Wyang, Tooironic I feel like 頭 and 身 aren't classifiers. What do you think? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 14:38, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe not. The 现代汉语规范词典 only defines them as classifers in other situations, namely:
a. 用于牛、驴等牲畜。
一头牛 | 五头猪
b. 用于形状像头的东西。
两头蒜 | 一头洋葱
量用于衣服。
买了两身衣服 | 换了身衣裳

I agree. They are definitely worth being listed as usexes though. Wyang (talk) 10:19, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Wyang, Tooironic I've removed them, but I can't think of any good examples. Could either of you add some? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 14:10, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
NP, I added an example for each. Wyang (talk) 21:17, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
