Even more than you mention:  Instead of a single flat bottom there's an 
extra facet for each of the three sides, which results in a smaller 
bottom facet than you would otherwise expect.  So there's really 7 
"sides" to the Kir'Shara.  (But since I'd only seen the first of the two 
episodes including it I didn't know any of that when I originally posted 
  about it. :-)

That must be it.  I'm surprised that there aren't more red-headed Vulcans.
