As abstract polytope gad is isomorphic to sissid, thereby replacing facial pentagons by pentagrams and conversely vertex figure pentagrams by corresponding pentagons. – As such gad is a lieutenant. Both gad and sissid can be seen as different realizations of the same self-dual regular abstract polyhedron {5,5}6 (where the index just denotes the size of the corresponding Petrie polygon).

This polyhedron is an edge-faceting of the icosahedron (ike).
