Okay; If so, that animal would probably still have the size of somekind
of animal (dog, cat size, whatever).

A {targh nu'} otoh would have the size of an ant.

True. But you would never fly in a {Duj nu'}.

No, it sure is lots smaller than just {machqu'}. But I will forward
these questions.

Yes, true. All of those meanings seem to overlap.

Since {velqa'} means replica, theoretically it can refer to the 1:1
replica. A {velqa' mach} is a small replica, and a {velqa' nu'} is a
miniature replica.
