If people don't like julra'o (junla radno) (Time divisions and
degrees are certainly related, both using some sexagesimal system.
Degrees are subdivided into minutes and seconds.), or some other
variation of radno, (hopefully not Sumerian radno, or any other
culture word), then jgarau (jganu gradu) seems best. Probably the
overwhelming majority of those who know what an angle is, measure
it in degrees, and never heard of radians, and one would not use
radians in ordinary life, eg to describe a 45 degree slope as a
pi/4 radian slope.
