Reg= arding the below, it doesn't seem to be correct.

That is, your examp= le looks to be "(m*s)^-1", not "m*(s^-1)".

I could be reading it wro= ng, of course.


No, because&nb= sp;{pi'ai} is of KE and {t= e'ai} is of XI: {te'ai} connects earlier than {pi'ai}.

I support (uisai) the idea of&nbs= p;{pi'ai} and {te'a= i}, because it seems highly conformable to the system of dimensional analys= is.

Also, what's the terminator? {ke'e}?

{pi'ai} is used as a prefix to indicate that the unit-s= elbri are being multiplied to form a new unit selbri. {te'ai} is used after= a unit selbri to exponentiate it.
We can easily create the units= for velocity, m*s^-1, with this system as follows: 
1) prefix the tanru with pi'ai; {pi'ai ...}*
2) determine th= e unit selbri that we need: {mitre} and {snidu}; {pi'ai mitre snidu}*
=
3) exponentiate accordingly; {pi'ai mitre snidu te'ai ni'u pa}

Because this new unit tanru is long, we need to make up= a brivla for it based on its components ideally. To indicate that it was c= reated with this method, we decided that prefixing it with pi'air- might be= a good idea, but perhaps that the prefix can be dropped contextually.

Some of you may hate this system, and that's okay. It's not = like I approve of everything everyone does either.

An example of defining the Newton:
{.i lo ka = pi'airniutni cu ka ce'u pi'ai ki'ogra mitre snidu te'ai ni'u re ce'u ce'u}<= /div>

I've been using {mitre} as a simplification for di= splacement. Obviously, I'd need to construct some unit selbri for displacem= ent, then use that in these definitions above to get vectors.
