I agree that a star (heavenly body) and a star (shape) are distinct 
concepts and should have separate words.

But in the context of shapes "star" still has multiple meanings:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star-shaped_polygon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_polygon

What gismu or lujvo would represent these two concepts?
Is the second one the first one +dikni ?
