History: Composite Units

Source of version: 1
(current)
Using a rather ingenious system based on an experimental CO and an experimental BE, it is possible to create all the composite units without needing to create fu'ivla. pi'ai KE unit multiplication te'ai BE unit exponentiation For te'ai, we wanted something like XI, but that could only apply to selbri, which would unfortunately result in creating a new selma'o, which we should try to avoid, no? te'ai expects a sumti having for referent a number that is the exponent of the attached unit. As for pi'ai, it functions quite like regular KE..KEhE brackets, with the only difference being that all the selbri inside a pi'ai..ke'e are multiplied. Everything inside the pi'ai..ke'e brackets forms a new selbri of the form ''x1 measures x2 __composite unit__'' Newton: pi'ai mitre snidu te'ai li ni'u ke'e te'ai li re Acceleration: pi'ai mitre snidu te'ai li ni'ure Velocity: pi'ai mitre snidu te'ai li ni'u Pascal: pi'ai ki'ogra mitre te'ai li ni'u snidu te'ai li ni'ure Molar mass (assuming g/mol): pi'ai grake molro te'ai li ni'u
