The non-regular hexahedra {(h,H,H)2} have vertex angles h = arccos(-1/sqrt(5)) = 116.565051° resp. H = arccos(-sqrt[(5-sqrt(5))/10]) = 121.717474°.

Icosahedral truncation applies to the icosahedral vertices (vertex inscribed ike) only. Wrt. the rhote this produces new pentagon faces there. These are then face planes of a cutting doe. – The above transition shows a dynamical mutual scaling of doe and rhote. The chamfered dodecahedron then is the instance, where all edges happen to have the same length.

Chamfering (or edge-only beveling – here being applied to the doe) flatens the former edges into new (non-regular hexagonal) faces.

There is a deeper, terminal chamfering of the doe too, which then reduces the original faces to nothing. Then the hexagons will become rhombs and the total figure becomes the rhote. – When considering the below provided tegum sum Dynkin symbol, it becomes obvious that this figure also can be seen as a Stott expansion of the rhote.

This polyhedron also occurs as intersection kernel of raded.
