I want more words like googol, i.e words that mean hundreds of
thousands.. or an infinite number of things.
If you cant find many words like this, just throw in a couple of weird
words with meanings somehow related to the above.
or something like storage of hundreds of thousands of documents/data..
you get the point i hope.
The more the better.
I need this a.s.a.p
Regards.

Words related to "peta".. or higher would be nice too. like "exabyte",
which means.. "<unit> 2^60 = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes = 1024
petabytes or roughly 10^18 bytes."

Regards.

Dear gerth,

There are not many short, memorable proper names for large numbers
like "Googol". Almost all numbers follow the common system of
designations ending with -illion and -illiard (with different number
values in Europe and America).
Would a long list of those designations suit your needs? That list
would also include Greek prefixes for large numbers, like "peta" and
"yotta".

I've always liked the word "hrair," from the novel "Watership Down."
The book is about a society of rabbits, and includes a lot of
imaginative rabbit language. Since rabbits can only count to four, any
number over four is "hrair," an uncountably large number. I have seen
"hrair" used in human terms to refer to a number so large that humans
cannot grasp it.

I have always liked the number quattuorquinquagintillion and hope one
day to place it on the Scrabble board ;-)  This equates, of course, to
one thousand septenvigintillion (on the long scale of naming numbers)
or 10 to the power of 165.

It's not a large number, but 'quire' is a cool word--and more likely
to be useful in Scrabble than 'quattuorquinquagintillion' will be.

And there is the ubiquitous 'mole' from chemistry.  It's 6.02 x 10^23.
