b. A list of the dictionary definitions of the five names.
c. A list of any English words that are relate to these vase shapes, functions, or origins, including the relationship of any of these vase shape names to any words in Taber's Cyclopedia Medical Dictionary.

If you cannot find any cognates or derivatives from this display, only give the cognates or derivatives of the ones which you find.
