Mnemonic
Ten-counter (点) is "point / dot / score" — B + no-cluster multi-use. Four roles: (1) score counter — tesuto 100ten; (2) work / item counter — kaiga 1ten, shouhin 3ten; (3) semantic "point" — juuyou na ten, mondai-ten; (4) writing dot — kutoten. Tensuu = score, manten = full marks, tenteki = IV drip. Korean jeom / jeomsu and Chinese dian / fen split parallel; Japans ten 4-use systematic.
