While thinking about these pieces I recalled that I had devised pieces called the Keyball and Keyhead, which on checking I found were pieces moving exactly two steps but with a Stepping or Leaping component in one kind of radial and a fully or partly Hopping one on another kind. I hoped that these pieces might help inspire me for pieces whose Hopping component is long-range, but I found that the purely two-step ones were an incomplete list as well. These pieces so far are Dabbaba+Spear=Desperado, Dabbaba+Mill=Millibar, Elephant+Musket=Musimon, Elephant+Mill=Milfoil, Eunuch+Musket=Junker, Eunuch+Spear=Spurner, Dabchick+Spearhead=Deathshead, Dabchick+Millstone=Dabstone, Tusk+Musketball=Tusketball, Tusk+Millstone=Tuskstone, Key+Musketball=Keyball, and Key+Spearhead=Keyhead. This leaves unnamed the compounds Alibaba+Mill, Dybbuk+Spear, Dabbaba+Spearthrower, Elk+Musket, Elephant+Musketeer, Eunuch+Gunboat, Thief+Millstone, Imp+Spearhead, Dabchick+Hurler, Antler+Muskethall, Tusk+Brawler, and Key+Gundeck. I therefore welcome any ideas for naming these as well.
