Note that co can be thought of as the external blend of 8 tets + 6 squippies. This decomposition is described as the degenerate segmentochoron oo3ox4oo&#xt.

The acronym co is being used for the full octahedral symmetrical variant, while ratet refers to the rhombitetratetrahedron, i.e. its tetrahedral subsymmetry.
