The great birhombitetrahedral honeycomb or gabreth is an isogonal honeycomb that consists of great rhombitetratetrahedra, ditrigonal trapezoprisms, and rectangular trapezoprisms. 2 of each type of cell join at each vertex. It can be obtained as a subsymmetrical faceting of the great prismated cubic honeycomb, by alternating its hexagons. However, it cannot be made uniform.

This honeycomb can be alternated into a snub bitetrahedral honeycomb, which is also nonuniform.

Using the ratio method, the lowest possible ratio between the longest and shortest edges is 1:2.
