Okay, I'm not sure about the terms here, so I wasn't able to find what I was looking for using Maya help or other searches.

I've included an image so that it's a little more clear what I'm asking.

I've selected the edges (in orange, of course) and would like to create a polygon there . . . there's currently no face there (nor on the face behind it). Meaning I can't just select a face that shape. For some reason, when creating this polygon, it doesn't recognize a face there where you'd think there would be one.

So, with the edges selected, can I create a polygon? Or define a face that isn't there?

Thanks in advance!
