Gesenius's Lexicon defines it as Circle, Sphere, Compass/Use of the Arch or vault of the Sky.

As for 'chug' I guess it can mean anything Mr.loftus wanted it to mean.

Still doesn't mean oblate spheroid, does it, Drich? Knowing the shape of the earth shouldn't be a big stretch for god, seeming as you believe he created the bloody thing.
Also, you ignore the section in the link titled "Biblical usage". It does not say sphere in there, so your point is irrelevant.
