The non-regular hexahedra {(h,H,H)2} have vertex angles h = arccos(1/sqrt(5)) = 63.434949° resp. H = arccos(-sqrt[(5+sqrt(5))/10]) = 148.282526°.

Dodecahedral truncation applies to the dodecahedral vertices (vertex inscribed doe) only. Wrt. the rhote this produces new triangle faces there. These are then face planes of a cutting ike. – The above transition shows a dynamical mutual scaling of ike and rhote. The chamfered ike then is the instance, where all edges happen to have the same length.

Chamfering (or edge-only beveling – here being applied to the ike) flatens the former edges into new (non-regular hexagonal) faces.

There is a deeper, terminal chamfering of the ike too, which then reduces the original faces to nothing. Then the hexagons will become rhombs and the total figure becomes the rhote. – When considering the below provided tegum sum Dynkin symbol, it becomes obvious that this figure also can be seen as a Stott expansion of the rhote.
