128. Yaxx. The first piece I made based on the letter yax was from the Tuareg form (ⵆ), and as I mentioned the other day basically moves like a Ferz. This more recent addition (hence the double X) is based on the more common version from the basic Tifinagh (ⵅ); it slides diagonally like a Bishop, or directly forward. (BfR)

I think this could be interesting in a Chess With Different Armies setup; whether as Queen or Bishop would, of course, depend on the other pieces.
