Apologies for the Confusion:
Indeed, I made an error between what I did, and what I described.  After a
brief consideration, I have decided to go with what I did - the original
game file.  
I have renamed the Bishop & Rook to the already established Alfil
(elephant) and Dabbaba.  For the Queen, I wasn't comfortable with the
names 'Alibaba or Spider'.  I required a universal piece name which
could indicate importance, power, swift mobility, and possibly be female
in description.  So I named the  piece: 'Sail' - traditionally, ships
are referred to in female terms.

An update (v 1.1) has been sent.
