- This is a tenary form of Ho$_{11}$Ge$_{10}$. The ICSD lists all these compounds using the Ho$_{11}$Ge$_{10}$ prototype. Tb$_{11}$Si$_{4}$In$_{6}$ is the first ICSD entry in the reference, so we use it as the ternary prototype.
- Sc$_{11}$Al$_{2}$Ge$_{8}$ is a second ternary form of Ho$_{11}$Ge$_{10}$.
- The AFLOW standard labeling algorithm shifts the origin by (0.5 a, 0.5 b, 0), moving the Si III atom from the published (8j) Wyckoff position to (8i).
