  1. I was disappointed that HEPTAHEDRAL appears not to be on the accepted word list.

    1. you can have a heptahedron, but not a regular one. so what would "heptahedral" mean, specifically? there's no platonic (so to speak) ideal of a heptahedron.

    2. According to Wikionary,

      Adjective

      heptahedral (not comparable)

      having seven plane surfaces


      And if it is on the Web, it must be true! ;>)

  2. The solid that theoretically would minimally encase the Pentagon is heptahedral, no?
