Another idea: define {to'e broda}, where broda
is a measurement unit, to mean {broda te'ai ni'upa}; i.e. the
reciprocal of the unit.
Thus {to'e snidu} = s^-1 or Hertz, {to'e mitre} = m^-1
or diopter. Philosophical basis is that now these units are no
longer measuring length but shortness, in time and in space
respectively.
So now miles per hour is {lo pi'ai minli to'e cacra}.
{pi'ai} may be droppable from all but the most technical contexts:
just assume via convention that when we put two measurement units
in a tanru, we intend to multiply them. Then we can possibly build
the lujvo {minlytolcacra} (though the La Bangu project does want to
avoid proliferating lujvo). This possibly fixes the problem that
existing measurement-combination lujvo such as {cacryminli} have no
standard as to how they should be constructed.
