Here's how I'd say it.

ca'e ga'e.abubycy. cibjgatai .i .abu .e by .e cy. kojna .abubycy .i to'a .abu 
.e by .e cy. mlapau ga'e .abubycy .i ca'e .abudy. kursa'i to'a .abuboi ga'e dy 
.i lo relca'u be .abubycy. cu xadba li .abudy. pi'i to'a .abu

Since {relca'u} is area and {cibyca'u} is volume, {pavyca'u} would then be 
length. However, while {lo nilcla be lo sirji} and {lo pavyca'u be lo sirji} 
are equal, {lo nilcla be lo cibjgatai} and {lo pavyca'u be lo cibjgatai} are 
not: the former is the length of the longest side, while the latter is 
nonsensical.
