Frances Karttunen: 

AHPĀZHUĒHUĒN large pan, kettle /paila /K006/ (T)[(1)Tp.107]. T does not have the reflex of a long vowel in the final syllable, but in HUĒHUĒNTŌN and HUĒHUĒNTZIN ‘old man’ it is long. T forms the plural of this item by adding the plural form of the compounding element –TŌN. See AHPĀZ-TLI, HUĒHUĒIHTZIN.
