·     Do not confuse this with the visually similar PAAT = “back”.

·     M&L.p112 HT2 lists only one example: “penis-head man”.

·     The MHD Catalog lists three examples:

o MHD.HT2.1: “penis-head man” (= M&L.p112 HT2).

o MHD.HT2.2: the head is not penis-like but rather a darkened semicircle.

o MHD.HT2.3: might be a woman?

All three have the same code, HT2, and are considered to be equivalent to T703. There is no pronunciation given.

·     A search in MHD “Classic – Blocks” on “blcodes contains HT2” gives 16 hits:
