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.
