The ball can't come to rest "against the stomach, knee, hip, etc." unless the hand is also against the ball. Therefore, if it comes to rest in the player's hand, the dribble has ended. So, the "other" body part is of non consequence.
If the ball comes to rest and the hand is touching it, the dribble has ended.

I can think of several body parts between which you can pin the ball without a hand touching it (one example in my previous post). It could be beteeen the legs (but above the knees), or between an elbow and hip, forearm and ... you get the picture.
