-yllion (Knuth-Pelletier)[1][2][3][4][5] does not have any direct clarification on the Internet but it does show how the system works on some websites.
This system functions like a long scale system of -illion as the number of zero is quadrupled instead of being doubled. This makes the number grows significantly faster than usual -yllion system.
For example, byllion in this system will be equal to 1032. While in normal -yllion system, the number will be tryllion.
The system also adopts the use of -iliard in the same manner as the long scale of -illion. For example, trylliard will be equal to sextyllion in normal -yllion.
