If I'm reading the New Words List correctly. the five classic (Platonic)polyhedra would be named as such:


qu'vu'                                         --  tetrahedron
buq'Ir                                          --  cube, hexahedron
chorgh mey' HoS yergh            --  octahedron
wa'maH cha' mey' HoS yergh  --  dodecahedron
cha'maH mey' HoS yergh         --  icosahedron

Of course there are always the {wa'maH mey' yergh} and the {wa'vatlhmey' yearghmey}. But they're not regular polyhedra. }}:-)
