NAMING POLYGON WITH MORE THAN 12 SIDES
12 sides are simply called an "n-gon," where n is however many sides it has. For example, a polygon with 13 sides can be called a 13-gon; a polygon with 14 sides can be called a 14-gon; and so on. These are proper, technical names for such shapes. There are also Greek-based names for shapes with more than 12 sides (for example, the 13-sided shape could be called the tridecagon; the 14-sided shape could be called the tetradecagon; the 27-sided shape could be called the "icosakaiheptagon" (which literally means "twenty-and-seven corners"), and so on. For large numbers, one simply takes the number as it is spelled out in Greek and adds the suffix "-gon."
