There are various senses of "regular" in mathematics, some of which are bet=

expressed by {dikni}. In this case, a 6-pointed star cu dikni fi lo julra'o=

li 60 gi'enai kubli. A 5-pointed star could be said to kubli, if drawn with=

segments; in some interpretation the number of sides is 2.5.

I checked Wiktionary. All the natlang words referring to the star shape are=
=20
also words for stars in the sky. This is not true of movie stars (e.g.=20
vedette).

We can't use {stela} unless we take {ckiku} to it.

I've seen {tarci bu}. We could also use {<name of the star shape> bu}, once=
 we=20
decide what to call the star shape.

{astro} sounds good. However, {astra} is already entered as a plant of the=

genus Aster.
