I've looked at the doco, but I can't seem to find a way to declare a new glaven, even in jest. That should be a central feature in a language named Frink, shouldn't it?

If a glaven is a new type of unit not related to any of the ordinary metric units, you can add it thusly:

glaven =!= awesomeness

Which makes it the fundamental unit of awesomeness. Then you can write things like

100 kiloglaven / second

to express the rate of increase of your awesomeness.
