Hello,

Mina Loy was related to the group of poets named Others in which we find
Arensberg who is clarely related to Duchamp.   There is a photo of the group
with Duchamp. She knew personally Duchamp.  See Stange Bedfellows by Steven
Watson.  So there maybe a relation  to LHOOQ that you have to pronounce in
the french accent.  QHU could mean simply the same as "cul" in french.
See what D writes about Mina Loy    :   MINA'S POEMS À 9
                                                              DIMENSIONS 1/2
                                                             HAUTS-RELIEFS
ET
                                                              BAS-FONDS,
Inc.,
                                                              MARCEL DUCHAMP
(ADMIRAVIT)
from Duchamp du Signe p 243, Flammarion, Paris, 1975.
I hope it can help you

Bye

François Raymond
