Category 1: Regulars


There are 15 (para)compact honeycombs, and a few starry noncompact honeycombs are listed here as well. There are also some facetings of the honeycombs that are tho analogues (aka the freeloaders). All honeycombs here are tame.


Compact regulars

These are the compact honeycombs, which means they have finite cells and verfs. All are orientable.

1. Ikhon - (ike HON) icosahedral honeycomb. It has ikes for cells. Its verf is a doe. I call its symmetry group "ikhonnic".

2. Doehon - (DOE hon) dodecahedral honeycomb. It has does for cells. Its verf is an oct. I call its symmetry group "doehonnic".

3. Pechon - (PECH hon) order-5 cubic honeycomb. It has cubes for cells. Its verf is an ike. It has doehonnic symmetry.

4. Pedhon - (PED hon) order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb. It has does for cells. Its verf is an ike. I call its symmetry "pedhonnic".

Paracompact regulars

These have infinitely large cells or verfs. All are orientable.

5. Hexah - (hex AH) hexagonal tiling honeycomb. It has hexats for cells. Its verf is a tet. I call its symmetry "hexahic"

9. Phexah - (fex AH) order-5 hexagonal tiling honeycomb. It has hexats for cells. Its verf is an ike. Its symmetry is called "phexahic".

10. Hedhon - (HED hon) order-6 dodecahedral honeycomb. It has does for cells. Its verf is a trat. It has phexahic symmetry.

11. Hihexah - (HI hex ah)order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb. It has hexats for cells. Its verf is a trat. Its symmetry is called "hihexahic".

12. Trah - (TRA) triangular tiling honeycomb. It has trats for cells. Its verf is a hexat. Its symmetry is called "trahic".

13. Squah - (SQUA) square tiling honeycomb. It has squats for cells. Its verf is a cube. It has "squahic" symmetry.

14. Octh - (OCTH) octahedral honeycomb. It has octs for cells. Its verf is a squat. It has squahic symmetry.

15. Sisquah - (SIS qua) order-4 square tiling honeycomb. It has squats for cells. Its verf is a squat. It has sisquahic symmetry.

Noncompact Regulars

These have hyperbolic cells or verfs. All are orientable.

16. Fipech - (fi PECH) faceted {4,3,5}. It has pesquats for cells. Its verf is a gad. It has doehonnic symmetry.

17. Siddoh - (SID oh) small stellated {5,3,4}. It has sissids for cells. Its verf is a peat. It has doehonnic symmetry.

18. Fipped - (fi PED) faceted {5,3,5}. It has pepats for cells. Its verf is a gad. It has pedhonnic symmetry.

19. Sipped - (SIP ped) small stellated {5,3,5}. It has sissids for cells. Its verf is a pepat. It has pedhonnic symmetry.

20. Fiphexah - (fi fex AH) faceted {6,3,5}. It has phexats for cells. Its verf is a gad. It has hedhonnic symmetry.

21. Shad - (SHAD) small stellated {5,3,6}. It has sissids for cells. Its verf is a hipat. It has hedhonnic symmetry.

Freeloaders

These are tho analogues, and have either thah, ditatha, or sha verfs. All except ohah and shahsah are nonorientable.

22. Ihipesh - (EYE hi pesh) ike-hemipesquat honeycomb. It has does and peats.
