A long list of names of scientific units is available from the UNIX program units. The data file from units is on the web at: [http://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/docs/units/units.dat]
Units] fu'ivla should be rafsi (stage-3?) fu'ivla, with a rafsi of ''klani'' prefixed to them.''What's wrong with gradu?'' The place structure of ''gradu'' is all wrong for this. ''klani'' has the place structure we want.
''fu'ivla have no place structure, and these words are better classified as units than as quantities. However, the place structures do matter in lujvo, so I'll change those from ''gradu'' to ''klani''.''
But fu'ivla do have place structure, just like any other brivla. There is no official rule that they inherit the very place structure of the prefix gismu, but if there is a choice between one with the structure we want and another with a different place structure... As for the classification, it doesn't matter how one classifies the '''''words''''' themselves. ''lo mitre'' is a ''klani'',
not a ''gradu'', and similarly ''lo klanrniutoni'' is a ''klani'', not a ''gradu''.
''Okay, I meant "inherent place structure". However, I guess I'll concede and make these "klani".''
In making this list, I'm basically going by units.dat but skipping really esoteric units or metric multiples of existing units (we have metric rafsi for that). -- [[jbocre: rab.spir|rab.spir]]
-------------
==== Primitive Units ====
*gram: ''grake'' (kilogram: ''ki'ogra'')
*second: ''snidu''
*meter: ''mitre''
*ampere: ''xampo''
*candela: ''delno''
*mole: ''molro''
*kelvin: ''kelvo''
*radian: ''radno''
*steradian: ''stero''
*dollar: ''rupnu'' (''meryru'u'' if the Lojbanistan ''rupnu'' isn't "standard" enough)
*bit: ''jetka'u''
==== Named SI-derived units ====
*newton: ''klanrniut,ni''
*pascal: ''klanrpaskali''
*joule: ''klanrdjuli''
*watt: ''klanrxuati''
*coulomb: ''dikca fi ...''
*volt: ''klanrvolta''
*ohm: ''klanrxomi''
*siemens: ''klanrzimenzi''
*farad: ''klanrfaradi''
*henry: ''klanrxenri''
*tesla: ''klanrtesla''
*hertz: ''klanrxertsi''
==== Time ====
*minute: ''mentu''
*hour: ''cacra''
*day: ''djedi''
*week: ''jeftu''
*month: ''masti''
*year: ''nanca''
==== Angle ====
*degree of angular measure: ''julra'o''
*hours of angular measure: ''cacryra'o''
*revolution: ''caryra'o''
*right angle: ''kuryra'o'' (I feel better using this now that [[jbocre: square meter|square meter]] is cleared up)
**A square radian is a steradian; that is, the solid angle subtended by an area equal to the square of the radius equals the solid angle subtended by a polygon whose angle excess is one radian. So we don't need ''kuryra'o'' for that.
==== Solid Angle ====
*sphere: ''bolte'o''
*octant: ''kubyko'a''
==== Temperature ====
*Celsius: ''jaurkelvo''
*Fahrenheit: ''kelvrfarenxaito''
*Rankine: ''kelvnrankino''
*Reaumur: ''kelvnre,omuro''
==== Units derived from physical constants ====
*torr: ''danrntore'' or ''miltremargu''
*acceleration due to gravity: ''falnilcneborsutra''
*speed of light: ''gusnilsutra''
*electron charge: ''ka'urdikca''
*lightyear: ''gusnilsutna'a'' (totus: but a light year is a distance, not time; how about ''gusminli''?)
*astronomical unit: ''keslai'' (totus: how about ''solminli'', and ''tanminli'' for parsec?)
*electron-volt: ''ka'urdicnenborlai''
*(most others would just be lujvo involving these)
==== CGS units ====
*dyne: ''klanrdine''
*erg: ''klanrxergi''
*poise: ''klanrpoize''
*galileo: ''klanrgalile,o''
*barye: ''klanrbari''
*kine: ''klanrkine''
*bole: ''klanrbole''
