One million is a hundred myriad (100 x 10000 instead of 1000 x 1000); the next uniquely named number after a myriad is 億, which is myriad myriad (10000 x 10000) or a hundred million.

Sure, Myriad was MM, and has a very different fit to Frutiger, and many of its stem joints are not strictly perpendicular, as are Frutiger’s, but to argue that it, and Prima, are original typefaces is specious — their debt is too great, and having a different cap M isn’t enough.
Just because a typeface achieves a bland, archetypal quality that makes it seem perfectly natural, more a discovery of some underlying truth than an invention, doesn’t excuse those who imitate it from acknowledging their source.
Even a simple sans serif typeface is a combination of quite specific global design themes, namely skeletal letter forms, x-height, cap height, extender length, relative widths of letters, angle of stress, degree of contrast, angle of terminals, roundness/ellipticality of curves, thickness and angle of joints — all of which have specific values.
