There is another honeycomb in hyperbolic 3-space called the order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb which has only four dodecahedra per edge. These honeycombs are also related to the 120-cell which can be considered as a honeycomb in positively-curved space (the surface of a 4 dimensional sphere), with three dodecahedra on each edge.
There are nine uniform honeycombs in the Coxeter group family, including this regular form. Also the bitruncated form, t1,2{5,3,5}, of this honeycomb has all truncated icosahedron cells.
The Seifert–Weber space is a compact manifold that can be formed as a quotient space of the order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb.

Famous quotes containing the word related:
“The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
