On the naming of combined leapers: I developed a family of combined leapers
for Beastmaster Chess.  Positing the Horse's move as three squares
including a turn (another way of describing a 1,2 leap), I used pieces
with four, five, and six square moves including a turn.

The colorbound Roc is (1,3) + (2,2), Camel+Elephant.
The colorchanging Pegasus is (1,4) + (2,3), Giraffe+Zebra.
The colorbound Wyvern is (1,5)+(2,4)+(3,3).

None of these names is in =common= use elsewhere.  Pegasus found its way
into ximeracak. as well.
