For myself, and based on nothing more than instinct, I have assumed that, l=
ike the other words listed above, an <'aplo'> is a subcategory of <ngaSwI'>=
. =A0The particular <ngaSwI'> described as an <'aplo'> would be a container=
in the shape of a right-parallelepiped, more commonly called a rectangular=
box. =A0I have not spent much time with Talk Now! =A0Does anyone know the =
picture shown for <'ul 'aplo'mey>? =A0Is it talking about something like ca=
r batteries, which are usually rectangular.
