However, "hendecagon" is the only common word using this prefix in the English language.
Here are some reasons why:
* Specificity: Most concepts related to the number eleven have more common, less technical words (like "eleventh" or "eleven").
* Limited Use: The prefix "hende-" or "hend-" is primarily used for geometric shapes with eleven sides.
* Scientific Vocabulary: While "hende-" and "hend-" are valid prefixes, they are often used in specialized scientific or technical contexts.
Therefore, even though other words could theoretically exist with this prefix, they are rarely encountered in everyday language.
