The Dartgun/Distaff/Minethrower/Vigilante family are now fully extended to the cubic/hex/Teetrahedral geometries (though not yet hex-prism). During the course of planning it I considered Tractor as a name but then recalled that I had plans to reserve unused Tr- names for part-riders of three-step leapers. As yet these are unnamed as they don't fit the differentiated prefixes for part-riders of mixed-step leapers (e.g. Elephrider+Trebuchet=Newtbante versus Treburider+Elephant=Newttrante). They include the following: 
long-range short-range
---------- -----------
Trilbrider Zombie
Trebirider Tripper
Treburider Trapezium
           Tripper
           Zombie
Traperider Trebuchet
Tripprider Trebizond
           Trebuchet
           Zombie
Zombirider Trilby
           Trebuchet
           Tripper
Triffrider Lurch
Tramprider Trisk
Trechrider Trailer
           Trisk
           Lurch
Trailrider Tramp
           Trechick
           Lurch
Lurchrider Triffid
           Trechick
           Trisk
Unused names include Tractor, Tram, Traveller, Treader, Trek[ker], Triolet, Troglodyte, Truck, Trug, and Trust. Any thoughts on which names to give which compounds, and any ideas for extra such names, are welcome.

I have also decided to move some Man and Beast names from Index S2 to Index S1 to balance the sizes better, and would be grateful if, when I post the update, an editor corrects the description to match the update description.
