Measurements are given for the square pyramid only. Even this square can be viewed as a general tetragon, like a (special) rectangle, a (special) rhomb. It is just a question of applied symmetry (for instance by coloring elements). Alternatively, tetragonal pyramids, according to the general aplication of such non-square bases, by means of differently sized edge lengths or non-right angles, can be considered too. In those cases measurements would clearly depend on the special form of that tetragonal base.

Squippy is an edge-faceting of oct, in fact it uses triangles of it and an equatorial square.
