For myself, and based on nothing more than instinct, I have assumed that, like the other words listed above, an <'aplo'> is a subcategory of <ngaSwI'>. The particular <ngaSwI'> described as an <'aplo'> would be a container in the shape of a right-parallelepiped, more commonly called a rectangular box. I have not spent much time with Talk Now! Does anyone know the picture shown for <'ul 'aplo'mey>? Is it talking about something like car batteries, which are usually rectangular.
