Ternary Data Units
Ternary does not align very well with decimal. Binary uses the Magic Number 1024 (2^10) which is very close to 1000. Ternary does not have a value that fits this well. So the closest one must be chosen.
The nearest to 1000 is 729; 3 to the power of 6. Instead of borrowing binary data unit names I came up with my own unit names from the letters of Heptavintimal starting backwards.
| Power | Digit | Word | Short | Pronunciation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7290 | trit | Tryte | t / T | |
| 7291 | Qutotrit | Qutotryte | Qt / QT | "Qu-toe" |
| 7292 | Pegatrit | Pegatryte | Pt / PT | "Pay-ga" |
| 7293 | Oktatrit | Odictryte | Ot / OT | "Ahk-ta" |
| 7294 | Naratrit | Naratryte | Nt / NT | "Nara" |
| 7295 | Metatrit | Metatryte | Mt / MT | "Meta" |
The names/spellings are VERY open to change suggestions.
