Object

• toe: Back to top What problems do deformed toes cause?
• nucleus: Macroscopically, or classically, deformed nuclei can rotate ever more faster to produce a collective spin.
• mesh: These axes have been duplicated and projected to produce a deformed spatial mesh across the whole of the central island.
• limb: He lit the candle and stared at his poor deformed limb.
• sphere: In fact, a pea is quite a good image for a deformed sphere.
• crystal: Note how the angle of the fracture surfaces mimics the angle of the slip planes in the deformed crystal.

Adjective complement

Modifying Another Word
