In very simplistic terms, is it fair to say that Beethoven's first 4 notes of his 5th symphony are used as an ostinato? Or is it not repeated regularly enough? Still not sure how the term is applied or correctly used and my music dictionary is not much help.
Don't mean to beat this to death.

Aha! Even this new Austinite says "oh-stee-NAH-toh" instead of

In addition to the terms listed below the English often called a
repetitive bass line a "ground bass," or simply a "ground." And if it's
12
bars it may very well be a blues bass!


Being from Austin, I would have thought the pun was obvious
to you:  Ostinato is pronounced "Austin Auto."

As for the ground bass, or simply "ground," if it's the same
thing done over and over with exactly duplicating entries,
is it a "Ground Round?"
