{chorgh mey' yergh HoS}, or maybe {chorgh ra'Duch yergh HoS}? The
{HoS} should apply to {yergh}, and not only to the {mey'} which are
its faces.
(It's possible to have a polyhedron whose faces are regular, but which
is not itself regular, such as:

We don't have sufficient information at the moment on how the Klingons
name complex geometry objects.
