ergs

Tiny energy measures

Ergs are units of energy in the centimeter-gram-second system, largely supplanted by joules in modern physics but still encountered in older scientific literature.

Separately, ergs are vast sandy deserts, particularly the dune seas of the Sahara: The caravan crossed the erg for three days.
