Too easy. Here's the prefix table from our units(1) command:

1e-24, "yocto",
1e-21, "zepto",
1e-18, "atto",
1e-15, "femto",
1e-12, "pico",
1e-9, "nano",
1e-6, "micro",
1e-3, "milli",
1e-2, "centi",
1e-1, "deci",
1e1, "deka",
1e2, "hecta",
1e2, "hecto",
1e3, "kilo",
1e6, "mega",
1e6, "meg",
1e9, "giga",
1e12, "tera",
1e15, "peta",
1e18, "exa",
1e21, "zetta",
1e24, "yotta",

The first two and last two were recent additions, as you probably know
(see "Science News", 1/16/93).

Never thought I'd be on the side of the network police, but WHY is
this stuff being posted in comp.lang.c ?????

I propose a further extension:

1e-30, "groucho",
1e-27, "harpo",
and,
1e27, "harpi",
1e30, "grouchi",

sorry, couldn't resist...
