Definition
This entry is problematic: the pinyin biāo is unusual — the standard reading for 'spoon' is sháo (sháo), and for the centiliter unit (公勺) it is also sháo. The POS is a classifier (q), although the gloss includes noun meanings (spoon, ladle). The most plausible classifier use is as an abbreviation for 公勺 (centiliter), a unit of volume. Since the data is inconsistent, use this row cautiously.
