Interesting never the less.

In case you wondered where they came in the list like I immediately did:
- quetta Q 10^30
- ronna R 10^27
- yotta Y 10^24
- zetta Z 10^21
- exa E 10^18
- peta P 10^15
- tera T 10^12
- giga G 10^9
- mega M 10^6
- kilo k 10^3
- hecto h 10^2
- deca da 10^1
- ——
- deci d 10^−1
- centi c 10^−2
- milli m 10^−3
- micro μ 10^−6
- nano n 10^−9
- pico p 10^−12
- femto f 10^p−15
- atto a 10^−18
- zepto z 10^−21
- yocto y 10^−24
- ronto r 10^−27
- quecto q 10^−30
You can combine these to have perfectly valid ways of saying 1.
I'll have ronnaronto cheeseburger.
My favorite prefix will always be exa. Mostly because of a sci-fi book where one character called himself Exa and there were a few subtle puns with that name (like getting obliterated with a 10^18 W laser)
Lets define here and now Hella (H) as 10^666. It's not SI official, but not "false".
