Well, I just put "is shape" because that's what the PDLers settled on, but as far as I'm concerned linguistically, it could just be "is dim". That would settle the "make-it-like-English" question by making it not at all like English.
On the aesthetic hand, "shape" is a much prettier word than "dim".
Yes, to me, "dim" means "not bright", as in dumb.
