Definition
槌 (chuí) is a noun meaning 'mallet' or 'pestle' — a heavy tool used for pounding or wedging. The row's POS is listed as 'g' (classifier/measure word), but 槌 is not used as a classifier in modern Chinese; it is almost exclusively a concrete noun. This discrepancy has been flagged for review, and the definitions and examples below reflect the actual noun usage.
