it's (1,6), if you follow the link to torsten linss' problem page, you can
see that's how he's moving it in his problems.  i'm not sure what i was
thinking when i made the page - a lot of the pages i submitted in 1998 and
early 99 were written very quickly, there's not much to them and they have
some errors (there's also an inconsistency in the antelope in terms of how
it's described on the page and how it's described in the index).  i have
been working on redoing all my piececlopedia pages, but it will be awhile
before i get to some of them.

I have collected the names of leapers from several sources,
the (1,5)-leaper is yet unnamed to my knowledge.

--Jörg Knappen

Thank you both for your replies.

I got to thinking that the (1,5)-leaper could perhaps be called a Crane,
continuing the idea of long range leapers being named after birds, as with
the flamingo.

However, I found that Crane was being used elsewhere.

The (1,5)-leaper is colour-bound, so would play quite differently to a
flamingo.

If there is no standard name for a 1:5 leaper I can suggest Zemel, and
while I am at it I can suggest Gimel for the 3:5 one. These names are
mathematically inspired.
	In the following all the variables are integers. If n can be expressed as
a²+b², then 2n=(b-a)²+(b+a)². If n is even so are b-a and b+a and both
sides can be divided by 4, making n/2 also a sum of squares. This means
that for every a:b leaper there is a (b-a):(b+a) leaper. Ignoring
non-coprime leapers this pairs leapers into a non-colourbound leaper with
an even and an odd component and a colourbound one with two odd
components. Such pairs are the 0:1 Wazir and 1:1 Fers, the 1:2 Knight and
1:3 Camel, the 2:3 Zebra and the 1:5, and the 1:4 Giraffe and the 3:5.
	Pronouncing the K in Knight gives 'Cannite', and the Knight has always
represented Cavalry, so '-mel' can be taken as an ending for a two-odds
leaper. Hence Zemel and Gimel.

Further to my last comment I have now come up with name suggestions for all
possible leapers on a 10x10 board which do not already have them, although
many would be useful only on a still large rboard or as part of a compound
piece. Many are derived from the Ca- group but 'Cadan' is conversely
derived from 'Sedan' for a 3d 6:3:3 leaper - thrice the 2:1:1 Sexton's
leap. Not among the colour-changing ones the use of bird names for
near-orthogonal ones and ecclesiastical titles for near-diagonal ones.

Of the piece names suggested below, those explicitly inspired by Flamingo
now appear (along with established ones) on my piece article From
Ungulates Outwards
(http://www.chessvariants.com/piececlopedia.dir/ungulates-outwards.html).
The rating is to credit the inspiring name.

Since my last posting I have rethought the names for non-coprime pieces
(see article When Beasts Collide) and two of the longest-range coprime
ones (see From Ungulates Outwards). As you wil see, I have abandoned the
vehicle-based names for non-coprime ones in favour of ungulates and birds
to match non-coprime ones of similar range.

In 1999 Ben Good wrote, ''I know of no game that uses it. Torsten Linss has a few problems using Flamingo.'' Well, Charles Gilman has several uses now of flamingo, one CV called Carnival of the Animals:
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=mscarnivalofthea 
A long-ranger fixed length like this might be compounded as a practical matter. Flamingo 6,1 plus Famel 7,5 = Flambeau; explain in whole or in part either numerically as to compounds or duals in systematization, or linguistically, or motionally for triangulating only, according to your state of comprehension. In other words, why compound duals instead of having the components stand alone? [source: ''m&b ungulates'']
As well, I use Flamingo frequently in ProblemThemes, which happens to be in CVPage comment last below.
