non-Grünbaumian master:
stiscu  
general polytopal classes:
segmentohedra  

As abstract polytope stacu is isomorphic to pecu, thereby replacing the pentagram by a pentagon and the Grünbaumian {10/2} by a normal convex decagon. Or it is isomorphic to rastacu, thereby replacing the (prograde) pentagram by a retrograde pentagram and the Grünbaumian {10/2} by a decagram.
