A summary of the derivable properties of temporal line-profile analysis is presented in a table. In the table, a single observation provides unique phase information as well as an estimate of m, the number of mode lines of a surface wave intersecting the star's equator. Observed properties are considered along with nonradial oddities. It appears now that nearly all chemically normal and unveiled stars, and possibly some Wolf-Rayets, exhibit NRP. The oddities among NRP OB stars are found to include mode changing, mode growth/decay, unequal wave amplitudes, unequal wavelengths, and absorption/emission transients.
