roundish, as we would think of globular, but can probably be angular or even have pointy projections as well. I think the basic idea is that, whether 3-dimensional or 2-dimensional, all dimensions under consideration are comparable.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d">Generally, ðą is used for globular, inanimate things. Body parts are inanimate. Heads, eyes, eggs, balls, etc. would be classed as ðą. It can also be used for areas of limited extent, e.g.
a field or yard. It seems to contrast with things that are standing or lying linear, or specific points, or unbounded extent. Ardis can probably give you more detail.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how the article <span style="font-family:"Gentium","serif"">ðą </span>is actually used in OP. According to the Omaha texts, it seems to be used often after body parts, but I notice it is
also used for other non-body part nouns as well, which JOD sometimes glosses as 'object'. I'm particularly curious because Biloxi sometimes uses the suffix -y<span style="font-family:"Gentium","serif"">ą </span>(which would correlate with <span style="font-family:"Gentium","serif"">ðą) </span>after some
body part terms as well. I don't see anything similar being used in Kaw or Osage, unless I'm missing something .<u></u><u></u></p>
