Andre Joyce's Extension
Andre Joyce fabricated an extension to the system, noting that zetta and yotta seem related to setta (Italian "seven") and otto (Italian "eight.") Following the reverse-alphabet pattern, we have xova- $$= 10^{27}$$, x + nove, and weica- $$= 10^{30}$$, w + dieci. (The last letter has been changed to a to keep the pattern.)

From here, only the first two syllables of the Italian number. We have:


 * vunda- $$= 10^{33}$$, v + und(ici)
 * uda- $$= 10^{36}$$, u + (do)d(ici)
 * treda- $$= 10^{39}$$, t + tred(ici)
 * satta- $$= 10^{42}$$, s + (qu)att(ordici)
 * rinda- $$= 10^{42}$$, r + (qu)ind(ici)
