The gismu for forming unit fu'ivla is {klani}. {gradu} would give the wrong
place structure. I've already seen {klanrniutoni}.
Yes. I think of gradu as the missing link in the multiplier series:
...
megdo - x1 is 10**6 of x2 in dimension x3
kilto - x1 is 10**3 of x2 in dimension x3
xecto - x1 is 10**2 of x2 in dimension x3
dekto - x1 is 10**1 of x2 in dimension x3
gradu - x1 is 10**0 of x2 in dimension x3
decti - x1 is 10**-1 of x2 in dimension x3
centi - x1 is 10**-2 of x2 in dimension x3
milti - x1 is 10**-3 of x2 in dimension x3
mikri - x1 is 10**-6 of x2 in dimension x3
...
If we want a word that means "x1 is x2 newtons in direction x3"
it makes more sense to base it on {klani}, which has the place
structure of all the measure words.
