To help you read the long words, I used a name modification, not normally used: When the number-

names (put in bold) of the Catalan solids should be added together there is one hyphen:

pentagonal icosi-tetrahedron: 20 + 4 = 24 faces

and when multiplication should be used there are two hyphens:

tetrakis--hexahedron: 4 x 6 = 24. 

 

Two less familiar terms are disdya- for 4, literally twice two, and -conta- for ten.
