• octachoron
• pentachoron

This word, so far as I can tell, is only a popular on-line neologism that has not caught on anywhere durable outside of one or two dictionaries, Wikipedia, and a single CFI-worthy Mathematical Reviews usage, which I added. The same can be said for the other 4-D figures, except they don't even make it into MR. Choor monster (talk) 18:18, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

• Technical note: I added the rfv template to the 600-cell as usual. I also added the template to the 120-cell, but I do not know how to direct the discussion here. Choor monster (talk) 18:27, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

• All cited. Some of the citations are behind a paywall, but they all seem to be durably archived. However, the definition of octachoron should probably be modified—two of the citations use the phrase "regular octachoron", which seems redundant based on our current definition. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 19:26, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

  Choor monster you're not in the history of 600-cell or 120-cell. Renard Migrant (talk) 19:28, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

  I assume Choor monster meant hexacosichoron and hecatonicosachoron, which are synonyms of 600-cell and 120-cell, respectively. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 19:31, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

  Yes, I was lazy to the point of horrible inaccuracy. Thanks very much, closed. Choor monster (talk) 21:25, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

• I will probably fix things up this week. Since N-cell for various values of N is the main term, the definitions should simply be "N-cell", which needs to be fixed up. "Regular" is normally used implicitly in these contexts. Choor monster (talk) 13:27, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
