汉语医籍中还真存在着指“握、把”的量词“掘”

The Practicability of Chinese Quantifier Jue(掘) meaning Wo(握) and Ba(把)

对近代汉语医籍中指"握、把"的量词"掘",有学者认为是"握"字形近误讹,并论定"汉语中并不存在指‘握、把’的量词‘掘’"。文章对此进行了新考释,结论是以"掘"指"握、把"的量词在汉语中是存在的;"掘"的本字应为"掬"。

Some researchers regard Jue（掘）, a quantifier believed to mean Wo（握） or Ba（把） as a corrupted form of the word Jue（掘） because of its similar appearance and even decide that there is no such a quantifier meaning Jue（掘） or Ba（把） as Jue（掘）. This paper re-investigates this issue and finds that the quantifier does exists in Chinese and its original form is Ju（掬）.
