As I understand it, the shape you get if a cartoonist wants to depict a drop of water: pointy top smoothly widening to rounded belly shape, and in my mind, the top is not straight but bends off to the side the chanter's going to go. Again, like the cartoon drop of water.
If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

More mathematical descriptions are certainly available, and will be comprehensible to some....

unsatisfactory description.

What exactly are we talking about here?
