From Ungulates Outwards. A Systematic Set of Names for the Simplest Oblique Pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

These comments have been most useful. As yet I have heard nothing better
suggested to associate with Parson than Nose. My Pope piece (a 3d-crowned
Bishop, see the companion article Constitutional Characters) already has a
better name than Nose for its FO version, namely Nuncio.
	Further to my suggested compounds I am warming to Zemel+Giraffe=MIXTURE,
and its FO version Sump+Blotch=INFILL, yielding Zebra+Gimel=COMISCELLANY
and Stripe+Bump=COINFILL. This is to fit with
Churchwarden/Beggar/Treasure/Molehill for compounds involving the
(dualless) 2:1:1 3d leaper. How do this page's correspondents feel about
these ideas?
