Honestly, I haven't doused myself in non-water-based liquids to see if I feel wet. As for shape and size, I'm not sure those are supervenient properties. . . just properties maybe?
Perhaps it's somewhat off the main point of a supervenient or trascendent property but what I meant was, wouldn't it be fair to say that the shape and size of any given objects, or secondary properties, such as the wetness of water, are effects of supervenience interacting with the--assuming you're somewhere in Kant's ball park--noumenal reality?
