Definition
This is the number 240,000, commonly used in counting quantities such as money, population, or distance. Note: the pinyin provided in the source data (mò) appears erroneous; the standard pronunciation is èr shí sì wàn. The source also labels this as a measure word (m), but the word functions as a numeral phrase (数词短语). Use it before a classifier or noun: ∼ 元, ∼ 人.
