  No worries, that's fine. You actually just triggered my encyclopedic inner 
beast which sent me down a small translation rabbithole and finally into 
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Przedrostek_SI and I must say `Thanks. Today I 
learned :)`
  
  Btw, the equivalent in Greek is Διεθνές_σύστημα_μονάδων#Προθέματα_μονάδων 
<https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%94%CE%B9%CE%B5%CE%B8%CE%BD%CE%AD%CF%82_%CF%83%CF%8D%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B7%CE%BC%CE%B1_%CE%BC%CE%BF%CE%BD%CE%AC%CE%B4%CF%89%CE%BD#%CE%A0%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%B8%CE%AD%CE%BC%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%B1_%CE%BC%CE%BF%CE%BD%CE%AC%CE%B4%CF%89%CE%BD>
 and yes a similar pattern exists in `Tera`, `Peta` and `Exa` which all are -1 
of what the sounds would implicitly suggest to a Greek person. So, I feel you.
