I meant the diagram image, so that it's easy to relate the Pieces section to the setup diagram (the listing of pieces helps too, but I always find it harder to deal with as it doesn't have as obvious a visual correspondence)
[mWmDcFcA] would kind of call for a mFmAcWcD somewhere
That was my thought too; if you are thinking sth more squirrel‐like, you could keep the value roughly similar to the Satrap (and retain its divergence) by going e.g. mNcAcD
[Edit: I hadn't seen you'd done the replacement already; Squirrel, or indeed Turtle, are also decent choices]
I've rearranged the pieces on the list, the tables, and even the setup board […] Hopefully that makes things a little easier for you (and folks like you)
It's definitely an improvement (though don't Pawn and Berolina count as a rotary pair too?), though there's no need for it to interfere w/ the setup unless you think it improves it game‐wise. Further improvements might include matching the order of promotees with their predecessors, and (if feasible) analysing the pieces' moves to find a more intuitive order — for all that his prose can be incredibly dense, Gilman's Piece sections are really exemplary in this regard imo
