Thanks, Doug. Then you may want to google "ekabytes" for the others (they only turn up on VM pubs, some may be unsupported)) and fix them, too. I found only four. "Your Search Engine May Vary."

I can confirm that eka is a typo in the Planning and Admin book and should be exa. The VM Information Team will be notified, and this book will be corrected. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. In addtion, on February 23, 2005, Gerard Schildberger added an append that lists some prefixes from deca 10**1 to ukekta 10**36. BTW, Gerard spelled exa correctly.

I am neither Greek nor a scholar, but your explanation is as described in any reference I have found. Now, what is the origin of the prefix "yotta"? How did "octo" get morphed to "yotta"? At least the derivation of "exa" from "hexa" is fairly easy to see.
