I like circles, and have had to use pi in real life (building semi-circular
end of a deck, + two handrails...never again!!).

Kash: ciyur ['tSi.ur] 'circle'
onjiyur [on'dZi.ur](om 'basis' +...) pi; math.slang "omi, mi", symbolized
with the "m" character.
enjiyur (e(N)- ??? + circle') circumference
çaçiyur [Sa'Si.ur] radius (çasi 'spoke' + circle),short form çaçi
voçindi(ciyur) (width-its) diameter (or roçaçi)

lembani ciyur yale mi pat çaçi-matu
area-its ...   is  pi times r-squared

enjiyundri ciyur yale mi pat voçindi/roçaçi
circumf.-its............
