So is pg, or ng, or Eg, or, my favorite, really elegant(!), the Gg. Each, of
course, suits its range of sizes.

A Wikipedia article <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laki > recounts the 1783
eruption of the Laki craters in Iceland and uses the prefix tera with
gram:
"An estimated 122 Tg (120 million tons) of sulfur dioxide were
emitted...."
Tg is rare but elegant.
