- Glossary_of_shapes_with_metaphorical_names abstract "Many shapes have metaphorical names, i.e., their names are metaphors: these shapes are named after a most common object that has it. For example, "U-shape" is a shape that resembles the letter U, a bell-shaped curve has the shape of the vertical cross-section of a bell, etc.These terms may variously refer to objects, their cross sections or projections.Some of these names are "classical terms", i.e., words of Latin or Ancient Greek etymology. Others are English language constructs (although the base words may have non-English etymology). In some disciplines, where shapes of subjects in question are a very important consideration, the shape naming may be quite elaborate, see, e.g., the taxonomy of shapes of plant leaves in botany.AstroidBell-shaped curveBiconic shape, a shape in a way opposite to the hourglass: it is based on two oppositely oriented cones or truncated cones with their bases joined. The cones are not necessarily the same.Bowtie shape, in two dimensionsAtmospheric reentry apparatusCenterbody of an inlet cone in ramjetsBow shapeBow curveBullet Nose an open-ended hourglassButterfly curveCocked Hat curve, also known as BicornCone (from the Greek word for « pine cone »)Egg-shaped, see "Oval", belowFish bladder or Lens shape (the latter taking its name from the shape of the lentil seed)Geoid (From Greek Ge (γη) for "Earth"), the term specifically introduced to denote the approximation of the shape of the Earth, which is approximately spherical, but not exactly so.Heart shape, long been used for its varied symbolismHourglass shape or hourglass figure, the one that resembles an hourglass. If one takes two copies of a shape wide at one end that narrows to the other end and connects them symmetrically by the narrow ends, the resulting shape is usually called an "hourglass shape". In other words, an hourglass shape is a (nearly) symmetric shape wide at its ends and narrow in the middle. Some flat shapes may be alternatively compared to the figure eight or hourglass. The classical female body shape is often compared to an hourglass.Dog bone shape, an hourglass with rounded endsHourglass corsetNtamaHourglass NebulaInverted bellLune, from the Latin word for the MoonMaltese Cross curveMushroom shape, which became infamous as a result of the mushroom cloud.[citation needed]Oval (from the Latin "ovum" for « egg »), a descriptive term applied to several kinds of "rounded" shapes, including the egg shapePear shaped, in reference to the shape of a pear, i.e., a generally rounded shape, tapered towards the top and more spherical/circular at the bottom. The term acquired a number of metaphorical meanings.Rod, a 3-dimensional, solid (filled) cylinder.Rod shaped bacteriaScarabaeus curve resembling a scarabserpentine, shaped like a snakeStadium, two half-circles joined by straight sidesStirrup curveStar a figure with multiple sharp points.SunburstTomahawk↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑".
