Having thought about it, I realise that naming compounds of two and four elements, be they actual pieces or game-specific aspects to a piece, but not all three is not that uncommon. Take the -elicopter pieces of Man and Beast 07: When Beasts Collide. There are compounds of every two dimple components of the Helicopter - Gnu, Anu, Hovercraft, Hajj, Cohajj, and Cohovercraft - the Delicopter - Nintu, Uluru, Dovercraft, Dajj &c. - and the Selicopter - Zebu, Zulu, Sovercraft, Sajj &c. - but none of three such components. The only exception that I can think of is the Buffalo, which is the only compound of three of the Gallop's four components. Were I to add prefixes for Pawns with three kinds of double-step move, it might be argued that I could add names fr Knight+Camel+Antelope and the like.
