Let be a primitive
polytope with eight vertices. Then there is a unimodular map that maps
to the polyhedron whose vertices are (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0),
(0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 1), (0, 1, 1), (1,
,
),
(1,
,
), and (1,
,
)
with
,
, and
. Furthermore, any primitive polyhedron with fewer than
eight vertices can be embedded in one with eight vertices.
