ki'o is 1,000.
ki'opa is 1,001
ki'oreki'ocino is 1,002,030

I would have said that was .000,22

In my view, ki'o marks the thousands/thousadths, so

pireki'o = .002
picimuki'o = .035
piki'ore = .000,2
(piki'o = .001)

I would have said:

..001,012,1

The ki'o always indicates three positions from pi or from the next ki'o.
The only question is where the fill in zeroes go. I would guess ki'o to
the left of pi fills in zeroes to its right, a ki'o to the right fills
in zeroes to the left.
