Making almost a circular form / Making almost a circular form
I'm trying to describe a character which happens to be a boar. The boar has two pairs of rusts, a lower pair and an upper pair.
I want to say that his two upper rusts are uncomenly curved backwards...
Should I say: uncommenly curved backwards making almost a cercle.
Or: uncommenly curved backwards making almost a circular shape.

Do you mean "tusks" rather than "rusts"?

You also mean uncommonly rather than uncomenly or uncommenty and circle rather than cercle.

I would suggest to say "uncommonly curved backwards, almost making a circle". This is because your usage of "almost" suggests that the circle isnt perfect, so using both "almost" and "shape" would be a tautology. (using words that mean the same thing twice)
