Why would you make a distinction between hybrids and compounds? What is that distinction in your mind? Why refer to leaper compounds as double and triple pattern instead of compounds? Why would you call the Mao and Moa Darters? What does that term mean for you? Why list bent riders under the heading of Leaper? Was that a mistake?

The Murray Lion is not a sniper. It captures by displacement. While based on the Cannon from Chinese Chess, the Leo and the Vao are not of Chinese origin.

Reflectors, Multi-Path, and Doubly Bent might be useful categories.
