Thank you for correcting me on this one. An instance of my fingers being faster than my brain!

Thank you Alberto. This is clear now. is it then true that aside from ACTIVITY and ACTOMASS, then the unit for all
other quantities is /prim unless the quantities (as scored by cards) are associated with an IRRPROFI card?
