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:
“So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
