I do not especially like 'polypeton,' etc. Just as for possibly calling 5-polytopes polyktirio (poly-building) or one based on the Greek word for 'house' (polychoron means room, so when they are in something higher they can be a room in something: there is no reason to start using numbers and making it less intuitive) 6-polytopes could be named after some kind of groups of buildings like a manor, town, or palace (originally meaning multiple buildings--see [Palatine].) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dchmelik (talkcontribs) 04:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
