 a round or rounded (globular, cylindric, disk- or bulb-shaped, annular) or 

 bulky exterior of an object, to an act performed with such an object, and

 the celestial bodies, I'ounded declivities (especially of the earth's surface),

 round shape); also to multitudes of animals, rings, and crowds of. people,

 itive verb, frequently occurs accompanied by the vowel u- (referring to long 

 articles) in the form lu-, lo-. When a plurality of round objects is spoken
