Discussion of "zigzagi"
Comment #1:

Can we specify the more exact shape/pattern/frequency/waveform of the zigzag by having a second terbri here?
By the way, the use of the word "line" in (paraphrasing) "line with a zigzag shape" is rather... unpleasant. Perhaps we should just say: "x1 is a zigzag shape with pattern/frequency/shape of zigzags/waveform x2, where x3 (shape) interpolates/exterpolates from common fixed point of each zigzag x4 (default: 'center' of each zigzag)". So, I with x3, I can draw a zigzaggy line, a zigzaggy circle, etc.

I wish u put all of them into one table and i want the place structure be the same for all forms (wave, zigzag, diagonal etc.) like x1 is a "zigzag" (an ideal non-material form) with properties x2,x3,x4
The same for boxna, digno etc.
The materialized object is jarco or se tarmi or mupli or something like that.

I will try to start doing that. But for those three examples, I do not really see their inherent relation. Most notably, I am not even really sure what a zigzag /is/ in any precise/rigourous sense. I related it to waves (by having a "unit of zigzaggity" that can be described in terms of waveform) because I could not really think of how else to do so and because that relationship might be useful. I do not think that a zigzag is actually a wave, so to speak, since it down not (necessarily) propagate- that description was merely a pictorial/intuitive means of encapsulating "zigzag shape"/a "zig"/a "zag". Likewise, I am undecided concerning whether a zigzag is a shape, a "pattern", or a deformation of a shape. Thus, I do not really think that it should have the same properties as, say, digno which is some sort of geometric object descriptor that is pretty well-defined.
But, yes, in general, I will try to organize like-meaning words consistently.

Okay, then we have the following semantic classes: shape, distortion of shape, pattern, material object (lo se tarmi), may be something else.
