Definition
一千二 is the colloquial abbreviated form of 一千二百 (one thousand two hundred, 1200). In Chinese numerals, when the last digit is 1–9, you can drop 百 after the hundreds place: 一千二 means 1200, just as 三千五 means 3500 and 五百六 means 560. This pattern is common for prices, quantities, and years. The POS in the source data is labeled 'm' (measure word), but 一千二 is actually a numeral (数词); this row likely needs a POS correction.
