The character sequence 10^27 is of equal length as 'ronna' and much cleaner. The only thing left was a smart short way to speak it without losing the semantics.

How about 10^17 == "tenset", 10^27 == "venset", ...

Inspired by French vingt, from Old French vint, from Latin vīgintī.

Since the length of words (should) correspond to the frequency of usage, longer variants would be ok if not preferable too:

10^… == tento…

10^16 == tento-seize …
