In eight-dimensional geometry, a heptellated 8-simplex is a convex uniform 8-polytope, including 7th-order truncations (heptellation) from the regular 8-simplex.

There are 35 unique heptellations for the 8-simplex, including all permutations of truncations, cantellations, runcinations, sterications, pentellations, and hexications. The simplest heptellated 8-simplex is also called an expanded 8-simplex, with only the first and last nodes ringed, is constructed by an expansion operation applied to the regular 8-simplex. The highest form, the heptihexipentisteriruncicantitruncated 8-simplex is more simply called an omnitruncated 8-simplex with all of the nodes ringed.

It may seem to be incorrect, but it is the source that has a typo. The word "exiated" is inconsistent with the rule for creating names of this type. For instance:

Polypeton → pet-on → pet-ated. Suffix "on" is replaced by "ated", see e.g. [https://bendwavy.org/klitzing/explain/polytope-tree.htm Klitzing – Polytopes]}}

= Coordinates =

The vertices of the heptellated 8-simplex can be positioned in 8-space as permutations of (0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the heptellated 9-orthoplex.

A second construction in 9-space, from the center of a rectified 9-orthoplex is given by coordinate permutations of:

: (1,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

Its 72 vertices represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group A8.

The symmetry order of an omnitruncated 8-simplex is 725760. The symmetry of a family of a uniform polytopes is equal to the number of vertices of the omnitruncation, being 362880 (9 factorial) in the case of the omnitruncated 8-simplex; but when the CD symbol is palindromic, the symmetry order is doubled, 725760 here, because the element corresponding to any element of the underlying 8-simplex can be exchanged with one of those corresponding to an element of its dual.

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the omnitruncated 8-simplex can be most simply positioned in 9-space as permutations of (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8). This construction is based on facets of the heptihexipentisteriruncicantitruncated 9-orthoplex, t0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7{37,4}
