You are certainly right about the Goldsahibon, Silvermemsaon, et cetera and I should have included them. When I next rewrite this page I will do so.

Regarding the likes of Goldboaron and Silversowon, my first reaction was that you might have a point. What seemed clear to me was that there were not two identical definitions of Goldboaron and its like. What I now realise was not obvious was that there were two obvious definitions at all. The Boaron is a purely diagonal piece, but not a forward-only one, and therefore cannot be made "Gold" simply by adding all Wazir moves. Thinking about it further I can see a justification for interpreting Gold- for the Boaron as replicating on all diagonals only moves of those distances where they are forward-only, as is the case with the Boar. Based on this stretch of meaning they would line up. I will therefore include these on tha basis as well.

It will however take time to complete the rewrite.
