What la piier wants should include star polygons, and should be narrower term than star-shaped polygons, because his purpose is creating lujvo for "starfish, star-nosed mole, stellated polyhedron". You might missed my previous post in which I suggested creating gismu for stellated form:

I understand that gismu form should be created from words of natural languages, but, in this case, I prefer creating it from lojban words for a geometrical definition of stellation:
Maybe from :
terkubli tcena tarmi
for example, {kutmi}, {kutca} or something.
pe'ibu'o {kutca} should be rejected, because the 4-letter-rafsi would be similar to that of {gutci}.
The precise definition of {kutmi} would be:
x1 tarmi gi'e jalge lo nu lo terkubli be x2 bei x3 cu tcena ji'e lo nu tyky simxu lo ka kruca kei kei kei gi'e to'e cimni
Note 1:
Temporal lojban definition of {kubli} by la xorxes on jbovlaste refers to only hexahedron, so if we adopt it as official, we will need another word for polytopes.
Note 2:
{to'e cimni} in the definition is for excluding hemipolyhedra. If you don't mind including it, we may delete that part of the definition.
With {kutmi}, we will be able to create what la piier wants. For example,
starfish: kutmyfi'e: x1 finpe x2 gi'e se tarmi lo kutmi
star-nosed mole: kutmynazdermabru: x1 mabru x2 gi'e xabju lo dertu .ije lo nazbi be x1 cu se tarmi lo kutmi
stellated polyhedron: cibykutmi: x1 kutmi li ci x2
