Let us explore this character 幾｜几 which can be said as gi1, gui2 and gua3.
Here are some examples.

on which month? |
|
gui2
gag4 ngeng5 |
幾角銀｜几角银 |

|
gui2

|
幾腳｜几脚 |
How

|

gê1 gua3 rig8 |
企加幾日｜企加几日 |

The first and last examples have been heard by people saying
these. Professor Lim in one of his lectures explained gui2 gioh4
and I cannot remember where I heard gui2 gag4 ngeng5 for this is so often said
by Teochew people.
