Polyhe


An n-he (a term coined by Brendan Owen) is a shape formed from a polyhex by removing half of each hexagon in such a way that the remaining pieces are connected (Clarke). The numbers of n-hes for n=1, 2, ... are given by 1, 4, 13, 50, 276, 1416, 7201, 37972, ... (OEIS A057712; Clarke).

Polyhes are a subset of the polyiamonds. Specifically, the monohe is the unique triamond, the four dihes are the bar, sphinx, butterfly, and chevron hexiamonds.
