pitki'otre. If you want to use a symbol in a sentence, I think it should go 
where the word would, that is, *before* the number, and should stand for 
{pitki'otre [be] [li]}, with the cmavo understood as needed. As some symbols 
are also well-formed words (there's no one named {km}, but it is valid), they 
should be marked with a hyphen (the dot already being used for a pause).

I'm taking statics, and one quantity (second moment of an area) used in 
statics is expressed in *quartic* millimeters. For that I'd say 
{vontefmiltre}.
