In first order watersheds, can the shape index (Ff=A/Lb²) and the elongation ratio (Er=(2/Lb)*(A/Pi^0.5) return values >= 1?

Working with large watersheds, these values tend to be < or = unity. However, working on small hydrographic basins (1st order) I find some volers above the unit.

Is there any convention that the values of Ff and Er cannot exceed unity?

Thanks.
