Reading of 組 as a Counter Word With Numbers


I'm confused about how to pronounce a word such as 一組. Are Japanese or Chinese
numbers used when using 組 as a counter, and if the former how does it change
phonetically?

For example, jisho.org lists both いちくみ and ひとくみ for 一組. My IME accepts both of
those as 一組 and also takes いちぐみ, いっくみ, and いっぐみ. Which if any of these is the
correct or at least most common pronunciation?




一組 is pronounced in two ways in Japanese for two different meanings.

ひとくみ: a pair of ~~, a set of ~~

Examples: ひとくみのカップル、ひとくみのディナーウェアー

いちくみ: Group #1 (among multiple groups)

Example: Name of class in school (二年一組、六年一組, etc.)

一組 is never officially read いちぐみ, いっくみ or いっぐみ in real life. However, you will
once in a while hear people say いっくみ to mean Group 1 in very informal
conversations.
