But does a fox going around an oven have orbital parameters?

What about people who have no idea what orbital parameters are?  I
suppose they are something like radii and plane of the obit, but I have
no idea what are the conventions to describe them.  Is {mluni} a
technical term or an everyday one?

These are all possibilities.  I used {klama ru'u le toknu} in the
translation, and I think there's nothing wrong with that.  {litru ru'u
le toknu} might be even better.  {litru le sruri be le toknu} is also a
good possibility.

I'd say {mluni le toknu} was the best, because it is the most concise,
if it wasn't for the x3 and x4 places.
