While they were fighting, he hit her on the nose.

Target Sense

• Basic term for the nose as a part of the human body.
• The target sense is the literal one for the physical body part, not the functional sense of the organ for the sense of smell.
• Avoid any more specific terms for parts of the nose (e.g. nostrils) or for shapes of nose.
• The term selected must be the default term for the human nose. As the most basic term, it may also be extendable to the ‘noses’ of other animals; but do not enter any other terms applicable to animals.
• Avoid terms that are predominantly figurative extensions to senses of smell, fine taste, flair, etc..
• Provide only the default, neutral register term. Many languages have additional slang or jocular words (e.g. French pif, English conk): do not enter any such terms.
