The best I can do in Kash is:
cimacimakekehapi
cima-cima 'jillion, gazillion' (childrens'/jocular word, based on the words
for quadrillion (10^12) et seq.
keke 'giggle' (new, temporary)
hapi (new)< hambiya 'piece'; a "byte" in computer jargon would probably be
derived from that word; not from kici 'to bite'
Another possibility: prakaprakahapikeke, a little more fun to say. (reminds
me of that Hawaiian fish......)
praka-praka another word for jillion, gazillion based on the word for
billion (10^9); prakahapi might actually be a computer term; lit. 'a
(billion)byte'.
A googol 10^100 (is that written correctly?) would simply be _fola matu
rongo_ 'ten to the hundredth power'. Is there a name for 10^1000?
10^1,000,000? etc.
