That is vey close, but I would not narrow it into "only" the geometrical
form. I'd even guess that klingons would not describe a geometric cube
as a {ngogh}, I'd prefer {letbaQ tut} (which is no canon example). With
the definition "lump", a {ngogh} may also be the shape of a spit out
chewing gum.

And yuch ngoghmey can also have many different shapes, just as bread and
cheese.
