Anyone know how to read 人型?

[RobinF]

I'm currently reading the Japanese manga version of Chobits, and this is one word that keeps coming up, that I can't find the correct reading for. It's used to describe robots like Chii: 人型パ・#92;コン (EDIT: the forum doesn't like katakana "so" for some reason :@). I'm pretty sure that it means "human type", but how to pronounce it?

人 is of course nin, jin, hito and means "human".
型 is kei or kata and means "type".

So that leaves plenty of possibilities: ninkei, ninkata, jinkei, jingata, and so on. Does anyone know the correct reading?

It must be something particular to Chobits... It depends on the author, actually. There isn't any furigana? Strange...
