Here are a few additions sourced from:
Hans Gruber: Märchenschachlexikon, Schwalbe - Deutsche Vereinigung für Problemschach, zuletzt aktualisiert am 26.08.2011,
http://www.dieschwalbe.de/lexikon.htm
The source contains tons of information on fairy problem conditions and some pieces. Most of them are outside the scope of the Concise Guide to Chess Variants, but I propose the following additions:
Piece names
ibis - elemental piece, (1,5)-leaper
lancer - elemental piece, (2,4)-leaper
Note: This piece has a different german name, Hase (engl. hare)
okapi - compound leaper (1,2)+(2,3)
Note. If the charset is mangled, then: ä ist ae (a-umlaut) and ü ist ue (u-umlaut)
