As abstract polytope ike is isomorphic to gike, thereby replacing vertex figure pentagons by corresponding pentagrams.

A q-ike can be face-inscribed into an F-oct. Its edges then are to be dissected in the ratio f:x, cf. the pic at the right.

The number of ways to color the icosahedron with different colors per face is 20!/60 = 40 548 366 802 944 000. – This is because the color group is the permutation group of 20 elements and has size 20!, while the order of the pure rotational icosahedral group is 60. (The reflectional icosahedral group would have twice as many, i.e. 120 elements.)

The (direct) snub derivational process features 2 operations, first the mere alternated faceting, here wrt. a to be alternated vertices of toe as its starting figure, which then would result in qQo oqQ Qoq&#zh (where Q = 2q), a pyritohedrally gyrated ike variant, and a secondary edge rescaling to all unit sizes only.

The quartersnub derivation of s3s4s':
Independent of the application order the subsequent snubbing processes will result within the same shape again. This is why this quartersnub really is well-defined: i.e. the ike well can be obtained from girco. (Esp. it is fully independently of a later-on to be applied resizement towards all-unit edges.)

The first stellation of ike happens to be the dual of sidtid, i.e. stai.
