Norman W. Johnson has kindly compiled a table of Anglicized Greek numerical


prefixes for use in naming polyhedra. These may be combined in decreasing order to
yield prefixes for the numbers not explicitly tabulated. For example, the prefix
for 392 would be triacosienenecontadi-, and a polyhedron with 392 faces would be
called a triacosienenecontadihedron.

Other variations are possible, but these follow a fairly regular pattern and are
compatible with names in common use for polygons and polyhedra.
