Definition
款 (kuǎn) is a versatile noun and classifier. As a noun, it can mean 'a sum of money' (like 金额 but broader, covering funds in general) or 'style/design/model' (e.g., a phone model). As a classifier, it's used for items, models, types, or sections in a document — distinct from 段 (duàn), which is for continuous segments of text/time/road, and 项 (xiàng), which is for abstract items/tasks/clauses.
