This convention can be seen in gismu for metric system prefixes:
xecto, centi, decti, picti, gocti. On the other hand, deca- is dekto
(possibly because otherwise long rafsi would clash with decti). ta'o,
for national reasons I especially like xecto with rafsi cto, which is
very similar to the Polish word "sto" ('one hundred') (it's similar in
most or all other slavic languages, like Russian or Czech).
