Right probably Grande Acedrez Lion is mis-interpreted, where some old schools describe distances including the starting square. Okay, Gilman defines Beaver as Bison plus Trilby in M&B06. Trilby is bi-compound of the Tripper (3,3) and Trebouchet(0,3) renaming the Jeliss and problemist Threeleaper, both Tripper and Trebuchet in M&B06. If Gilman has used any of those, they would be Tripper and Trebuchet, not Trilby and Beaver. He often deliberately implements a new-found or -named fundamental, but his indexes do not go from piece-type to cv anywhere reliably yet. Count on his having put all the oblique leapers into cvs, but where are Tripper and Trebouchet? Lavieri Grand Bishop of Altair leaps three diagonally as a bi-compound having to slide to the other Bishop squares. Heddon's Microorganism's Paramecium is Tripper but as just one part of the tri-compound it is. Heddon's IO's SuperComputer is Trebuchet but as just one part ot that tri-compound. Almost certainly Beaver and Trilby are not done yet formally in any cv. There would be several other piece-types that can leap to (0,3) or to (3,3). For example, Ramayana Buddha who leaps to all Rook destinations, and Ramayana Rakshasa who leaps to all the Bishop arrival squares. Jeremy Good's cv hre has both Archabbott and Squirrel as tri-compounds, the loophole for this larger topic.
