As can be read from the matrices below, at every edge there are 2 hexagons. Thus we get as pseudo cells something with hexagons only. From the vertex incidence we further read off that this pseudo tiling happens to use 4 hexagons per vertex. From the here truely being used cells (toe) it is deduced, that any straight edge sequence of that seeming x6o4o needs to be mod-wrapped to square holes. Therefore those pseudo cells rather are the skew polyhedron x6o4o|4 instead.

The facial subset, obtained when neglecting one tetrahedral subset of hexagons within each toe (e.g. the hexagons x3x . . and . . x3x in the representation x3x3x3x3*a), by itself describes the Wythoffian infinite skew polyhedron x6o6x|6, a modwrap of the hyperbolical tiling x6o6x.

By virtue of an outer symmetry this is a non-quasiregular monotoxal honeycomb, that is all edges belong to the same equivalence class.
