As abstract polytope sissid is isomorphic to gad, thereby replacing facial pentagrams by pentagons and conversely vertex figure pentagons by corresponding pentagrams. Both sissid and gad 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).
