The Powertope asks here to use the p-fold ring of the (long) prisms x.-p-o. w. .. from the first layer plus the orthogonal p-fold ring of (long) prisms .w .. .x-p-.o from the other layer, and then to connect them directly, i.e. in a lacing sense. These lacing elements thus are rectangular trapezoprisms where the rectangular bases have edge sizes x and w, while the lacing edge size will be y, as is just described by the elements xw .. wx ..&#zy.
