its a bit confusing. the terms +/-ve strandedd are used for RNA viruses and linear/circular for DNA viruses, so how can an RNA virus be non linear/linear?

Arenavirus has two circular RNA segments, one negative sense and one ambisense, but it is enveloped. I thought all negative sense RNA viruses were helical and enveloped.
