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. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
