als je kijkt naar het plaatje in de link, denk ik dat je het als een platte ovaal of zo kunt vertalen.

agree  Pierre Drion: Hoewel ik 'obround' nooit eerder ben tegen gekomen, heb ik zo het idee dat het een combinatie van 'oblong' en 'round' is: een rechthoek die afgerond is.

ovaal


Explanation:
Ik vind platte ovaal niet zo mooi. De vorm is duidelijk ovaal.

Zie de link hieronder. Het is dus niet ovaal, maar langwerpig met ronde hoeken. Omdat er geen mooi NL equivalent bestaat zou ik toch \"ovaal\" gebruiken, omdat dat er heel dicht bij zit.
