Waiting on DEMO III against Carrera stock Champion(R+N) and Centaur(B+N),
this thread wants to show they are incompletely-examined implementations to those (2,3) plus (1,2)(1,3)(1,4)...squares. JJoyce's generic DW,
Dabbabah-Wazir, he describes in number of different implementations.
Broadly, they are all 'sequential pieces' whether there are two or three
legs, whether repeat Dabbabah-Dabbabah is allowed, and so on. If memory
serves, Antoine Fourriere deleted a Comment in 2004 saying he prefers a
piece moving to Falcon (2,4 and 3,4) squares by way of two legs: Knight
leap then mandatory one-step outwardly to those (Camel) or (Zebra) arrival squares.  Differently, JJoyce's legs up to three for this DW are optional.
AF's description would also include recent Sissa in the same group of 'mandatory sequential', but 13th C. Gryphon would fall in JJ's 'optional'. Sequential piece, Multi-path piece, Leaper, Slider(one-path) are four fairly distinct categories. No full taxonomy attempted like RBetza or DHowe['A Taxonomy']: ''venture too deep into the jungle of classification''  we used in year 2000 FC article. Now for convenience, we call stock RN and BN 'combination pieces' because made of Leaper+Slider, functional opposites, but 'pseudo-compound' is descriptive as well. Any Leaper is a multi-path form with an infinity of paths, therefore no path at all in automatic shift to an arrival square(s).  Any Slider one-path has the potential for other pathways that could be added to piece-move definition. Therefore, multi-path is the linking category or organizing principle. Even the above sequential pieces are built according to definition of particular multi-pathers' units.
