[USMA:35631] Danish spelling of gram?

[James J. Wentworth]

 Hello All,   I was wondering how "gram" and other SI unit names beginning with or containing the letter "g" are spelled and pronounced in Danish?   A late friend of mine worked as a civilian contractor at Thule Air Force Base in Greenland from 1967 to 1969.  He learned Danish because many non-military services such as the on-base taxi cabs were operated by Danes.  He told me that Danish has no letter "G" (or at least it isn't used to symbolize the same sounds as in English).  When pronouncing the word "general," for example, he said that the Danes would say "dyeneral" because they had no letter "j" sound in Danish.  --  Jason
