quintal
Explanation:
dt = decytona = kwintal = 100kg

Po angielsku istnieje słowo "quintal" (skrót Q), ale ostrożnie: metric quintal = 100kg, ale jest też imperial quintal = 100lb albo 112lb. Bezpieczniej byłoby chyba przeliczyć tę masę na kilogramy albo tony.

agree  anglista: zgadzam się, że lepiej przeliczyć, bo dt może nie być dla każdego jasne, a kilogramy/tony są (choć z tonami też trochę różnie bywa, to jednak na ogół 1 t = 1000 kg)
