If you don't think that the elephant is a good unit for counting elephants,
you could say "lo gradu be fi lo ka xanto", or, as you said, redefine
"kancu" so that it takes a tergradu instead of a gradu in x4.

Do you have the same qualms with "lo mitre" or "lo snidu" to refer to
units? What would you fill the x1 of gradu with?
