The name cubera is a portmanteau of the words 'cube' and 'chimera'. The 3D cubera achieves its self-duality as the result of being, essentially, half cube and half octahedron (the dual polyhedron of a cube). In fact it has three square facets joined at a vertex (the cube 'half') and four triangles, with three of them adjoining a central triangle (the octahedron 'half').

Dan Moore found a general dimensional analogy thereof in its sense of an hypercubical-corner-simplex atop full-hypercube. Moreover, as also proved by him here, those (corner) hypercubera happen to be combinatorically dual in general!
