Definition: Egg-shaped; a spheroid quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's exhibiting a continuous convex surface with an axis of symmetry and one axis longer than the other.
Definition: A convex 3-D shape quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's resembling a cone (a 3-D shape with a round cross section that tapers), with a blunt end instead of a pointed end.

Definition: A shape quality inhering in a bearer the shape of a cone in which the distance from the point to the base circumference is not the same at all points along the circumference. This is a 3D shape.
Definition: A three dimensional shape that approximates a trapezoid.
