I have decided to go ahead with the switch this weekend as far as square-cell pieces are concerned. The names new to Man and Beast will be as follows, with non-coprime components usually Leaping unless marked $, in which case they are usually Stepping.
	Frock=Cross+Trechick - replacing Tadpole
	Gardener=Point+$Dabchick+$Trechick - new
	Guardian=Wazir+$Dabbaba+$Trebuchet - piece new to MAB
	Lining=Gardener+Restless - new
	Liondog=Guardian+Wrestler - piece new to MAB
	Newt=Elephant+Trebuchet - replacing Rosette
	Nuke=Tusk+Trechick - replacing Rosebud
	Restless=Cross+$Tusk+$Trisk - new
	Toad=Dabbaba+Trebuchet - replacing Treader
	Toke=Dabchick+Trechick - replacing Trekker
	Vestment=Mitre+Trechick - replacing Maypole
	Wrestler=Ferz+$Elephant+$Tripper - piece new to MAB
A few brand new 3d and/or hex ones will get in as well, namely
	Garage=Gardener+Wether
	Guarantor=Guardian+Weatherer
	Liner=Lining+Wether
	Liontamer=Liondog+Weatherer
	Lucky=Key+Lurch
	Reckless=Restles+Wether
	Weatherer=Viceroy+$Eunuch+$Zombie
	Wether=Saltire+$Key+$Lurch
	Wrecker=Wrestler+Weatherer
	Zookeeper=Eunuch+Zombie
I am postponing adjusting cubic Amphibian pieces to consider the fact that different pieces are Amphibian in different geometries. The Toad and Newt are Amphibian in all geometries that have them (2d hex has no Frog or Newt), but the Frog has an unbound component in hex-prism. The Vicbaba is Amphibian in 2d hex but Viceroy+Trebuchet, which is Amphibian on a cubic board, is bound to a third of a hex board. Any thoughts on dealing with other geometries, or should I just not bother with Amphibian-themed names beyond the square-cell board?
