* The case n=2 equally would be considerable here by concept, it just has a different incidence matrix as the n-gons become degenerate.
Note the conceptual difference between this antiprism-pyramid and the pyramid-antiprism n-apt. In fact, the latter happens to be the external blend of 2 of the former.
Solving the height formula below for the limitting (then degenerate) case, results in n ≤ π/arccos(5/6) = 5.363958.
pt || n-ap → height = sqrt[(5-6 cos(π/n))/(8-8 cos(π/n))]
