Moving one edge length along one pentagon type of a pedip and a chord step corresponding to two edge steps along the orthogonal pentagon type, inscribes into pedip an internal chord of size y = sqrt(x2+f2) = sqrt[5+sqrt(5))/2] = 1.902113. Going on to do so, then produces a closing cirquit of 5 such edges, respectively vertices. It turns out, that these 5 out of 25 vertices of pedip describe a vertex inscribed y-pen. This in fact is a special instance of the stepprism construction. (The right picture highlights such an inscribed pentachoron within a pentagonal duoprism.) Esp. all vertices then could be encountered by an inscribed chiral compound of 5 such pens.

If one considers however only 4 such inscribed pens, the resulting hull polychoron is the in here described one. As it turns out it still remains isogonal. For sure it uses 3 different edge sizes: the remaining edges of size x = 1 (black in the pattern display), the new diagonals of the former squares with size q = sqrt(2) (red), and the chords of the former pentagons with size f = (1+sqrt(5))/2 (green).

It then has two cell types. One (yellow in the above net) is a bidiminishing of the former pedip cells (pip), which also occurs as the vertex figure polyhedron of spidrox, again shown at the very left, i.e. having their 2 reduced vertices each at maximal distance apart. The other (red) is the vertex figure polyhedron of pedip itself (situated underneath the here omitted vertices).
