EDIT: the dozenal SIprefix is the same as decimal.
I'm not sure I like just taking the decimal prefixes. (OK, so I've appropriated billion, trillion, quadrillion, etc) but I think that for SI multipliers we need to distinguish between base 10 multipliers and base 12 multipliers, just like we currently distinguish between base 10 multipliers and the binary multipliers (Kibi, Mebi, Gibi, etc.)

Hmm....
