My latest thoughts on the pattern is to transfer the current names from
Antelope compounds to Epoletna ones. The names that I am now looking at
are:
	Knight+Antelope=HOVERCRAFT - a fast marine vessel starting with H.
	Camel+Antelope=HAJJ - the pilgrimage not the pilgrim, to give a distinct
ending.
	Helm+Haste=HOTSPUR - the idea of a horseman in armour spurring his horse
on.
	Hump+Haste=HARDSHIP - a property of many a pilgrimage.
	Knight+Namel=COHAJJ, Camel+Namel=COHOVERCRAFT, Helm+Hardness=COHARDSHIP,
Hump+Hardness=COHOTSPUR - derived names.
	Knight+Epoletna=SLEIPNIR, Camel+Epoletna=GOUM, Helm+Etsah=STAMPEDE,
Hump+Etsah=WAVE - reused names, specific to 3d boards.
	Knight+Pentagram=COGOUM, Camel+Pentagram=COSLEIPNIR, Helm+Shilling=COWAVE,
Hump+Shilling=COSTAMPEDE - derived names, specific to hex 3d boards.
	For compounds of 3 or more oblique leapers I never established either
distinct endings or forward-only names, so for Knight+Camel+Antelope+Namel
(alias Gnu+Anu, Hovercraft+Cohovercraft, Hajj+Cohajj) I go one up
(literally up!) from Hovercraft with HELICOPTER.
