This compound has rotational freedom. Starting at φ = 0° with a completely coincident overlay of 8 octahedra, rotating 2 octahedra each, thought of as 3-fold antiprisms, around their common axis in opposite directions, and thereby passing at φ = 60° at a double cover of sno.
Bases of those 3-fold antiprisms pairwise fall into coincident face planes. So either they can be considered separately (type A); or they are considered as (rotated) 2-triangle-compounds (type B).
This also is a compound of 2 dissit (both tetrahedral subsets are used - type C).
For an intermediate state of φ the lateral triangles too become coplanar, and thus can be considered as (rotated) 2-triangle-compounds. That special case is called hidso (hexagrammattic disnub octahedron). (J. Bowers further uses idso (inner ...) for smaller values of φ, resp. odso (outer ...) for greater values.)
