95. Yagn. Like the Yaf (#73), the Yagn is based on a letter of the Tifinagh, one that makes a sound like the ñ in Spanish, and it takes both its movement and its figure from the letter. In this case, the Yagn can slide forward or backwards orthogonally like a Rook, but can also make a right-angle turn after two spaces to move sideways. (vRvafyasW)

(I thought about making the turn after only one step, but somehow that didn't seem to represent the letter quite right.)
