I suggest "cukpa'otai" or "xiltai", the second after thinking of the etymology 
of "round", which is "rotundus" from "rota".

Do you have any suggestion for "round" in the sense of "round number" (which 
has two subsenses)? There's nothing circular or wheel-like about the numbers 
1700 and 2147483648.
