"Tapalguen itself, or the town of Tapalguen, if it may be so called, consists of a perfectly level plain, studded over, as far as the eye can reach, with the toldos, or oven-shaped huts of the Indians."
"It was a low vaulted ceiling cut out of the live rock, almost oven-shaped, and hardly twelve feet high at the highest point."
"The small, dark, oven-shaped room, smoky and foul with the smell of fish and dirt, was home to him -- the mud floor, worn smooth and hard with use, was strewn with mats and skins which served for chairs and beds."
