Can someone tell me how many 16-cells (how many polychlora), how many facets (how many tetrahedra), how many ridges (how many triangular faces), and how many edges meet at any given vertex in a tessellation of regular 16-cells in Euclidean 4-space?

[edit] sources?

I mostly added the resource template because I'd like sources for this name. Tom Ruen 00:54, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Names in higher dimensions

Where did all these -teron, -peton, etc. names come from? Who first called them that? I'm a little suspicious because triacontaditeron, for example, gets zero Google hits. —Keenan Pepper 04:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

See reply under Talk:Simplex. Search for polyteron' or triacontadi. No google hits for triacontadigon either, but it is a common 32-gon. Tom Ruen 04:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually a 32-gon is a dotriacontagon or better yet a triacontakaidigon. —Keenan Pepper 05:22, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
