Why? I think we should use units we're familiar with: meter, liter, kilogram,
etc. Give them Klingon spellings if you must, and maybe play with the prefix
translations, but units of measure are pretty arbitrary. We don't suddenly
switch units when translating to German or Swahili, and I don't see a reason
to do so in Klingon.
