Another way to express such units is:

"length / time" = {li ni'e ni clani fe'i ni'e ni temci}

With lujvo:

{li ni'e nilcla fe'i ni'e niltei}

This is not that much longer than the English "length divided by time". 
Now a lujvo can be made that uses the above formula as (part of) its 
definition. Something like the following (which is to be considered a 
sketch open to review):

{zo nilclanilteidilcu zo'u: x1 me li ni'e ni clani fa lo jai ve'a muvdu 
be fai x2 te'u fe'i ni'e ni ditcu fa lo nu x2 muvdu}

"length-time-quotient: x1 is the length of the interval of x2's moving 
divided by the duration for which x2 moves"

Feel free to make adjustments to or dismiss alltogether my humble use of 
mekso. :)
