Alt spelling of chiliahedron. Umm yeah? Equinox 05:11, 18 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

I've found three sources that use this spelling, one of which is John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding, which is certainly a well-known work; it appears that Locke coined the term. However, this spelling is very rare, so I've redefined it as a {{rare spelling of|chiliahedron}} and marked the plural not attested. Does the entry as it currently stands appear OK to you? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 14:57, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
IMO it's really just one independent use. I would exclude Century and the commentary on Locke as mentions. OTOH, as you say, it is a well-known title, if not often well read. DCDuring TALK 17:50, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
