疋
ひき
Jinmeiyō
on'yomi

From Middle Chinese 疋 (srjo, “foot; roll of cloth”). Conflated in Japanese with Middle Chinese 匹 (phjit, “counter for horses and mules; counter for rolls of cloth”), both in meaning and in reading. The hichi reading evolved into hiki by association with 引き (hiki, “pulling”), from the way that an animal's leash is pulled.[1]

Counter

疋(ひき) • (-hiki) 

  1. Alternative form of 匹: counter for smaller animals
