Stella Octangula Cube $\{4,3\} [2\{3,3\}]\{3,4\}$

The above table gives some common polyhedron compounds. In Coxeter's Notation, $d$ distinct Vertices of $\{m,n\}$ taken $c$ times are denoted

\begin{displaymath}
c\{m,n\}[d\{p,q\}],
\end{displaymath}

or faces of $\{s,t\}$ $e$ times

\begin{displaymath}[d\{p,q\}]e\{s,t\},
\end{displaymath}

or both

\begin{displaymath}
c\{m,n\}[d\{p,q\}]e\{s,t\}.
\end{displaymath}

The five Tetrahedra can be arranged in a laevo or dextro configuration.
