I think we should try to model it after the existing international system as closely as possible, within the morpheme-shape rules. In other words, have power-of-ten prefixes that attach to basic units that resemble either the Western standard words "metre" and "gram" (and "litre", though not absolutely necessary), or that resemble the Mandarin words if they're a better phonological fit. --Krawn
