Item / Counter / Piece / Unit / Classifier.

  • 箇条かじょう — article; clause; item
  • 個箇ここ — each; individual
  • 一箇所いっかしょ — one place; one spot
  • 数箇所すうかしょ — several places

箇 combines the 竹 radical, reflecting bamboo sticks used for counting, with the phonetic element 固. It came to mean an individual unit — something counted or singled out.
