Polyhedra abbreviations

All abbreviations are those used by Jonathan Bowers, they are primarily used in his descriptions of polychora (the 4 dimensional equivalent to the polyhedra).

Abbreviations for the uniform polyhedra are given with the respective polyhedra.  Others, for prisms and anti-prisms, are given below:
