I think 'min' is parsed as 'meter nil nil', because (1) min is not
found in the list of short or long unit names, so it's assumed to be
composite; and (2) once processed composite, m-->meter-->m, while
i-->nil and n-->nil.
Solution: add 'min' to the list of short unit names (below).

ok, added ... but wondering about the plurals now ..
