The triangles {(t,t,T)} have vertex angles t = arccos(3/4) = 41.409622° resp. T = arccos(-1/8) = 97.180756°.

Note that the term dipyramid, although stated above, in general says nothing about the relative ratio of the to be chosen lacing edge size. There is an equilateral dipyramid as well, tridpy (n=3). – Whereas in here the edge ratio is chosen such as to match its duality to the trip!

The a edge, provided in the below description, only qualifies as pseudo edge wrt. the full polyhedron. In fact it rather describes its tip-to-tip distance.
