Short scale numbers needs a new naming convention as it contains -llion without having anything to do with million. What should be the proper names?

kilokilo=milion
Bilokilo= billion
trilokilo = trilion

llion probably means 1000, and it's not derived of million, but million is derived of it. Current scale is correct and you're dumb a little.

It's the "mille" part of "million" that means 1000.
>from Old French million (late 13c.), from Italian millione (now milione), literally "a great thousand," augmentative of mille "thousand," from Latin mille, which is of uncertain origin.

Base 2 in the exponent.
10^3 = thousand
(10^3)^2 = million
(10^3)^4 = billion
(10^3)^8 = trillion
