I had little time last weekend, but I've now noticed that my monthly weekday off is this week, so I'll post the changes then. I've now got names to extrapolate to all cubic compounds of coprime oblique and thrice-coprime radial simple pieces. The following are amphibian and the suggested names are amphibian ones:

Camel+Trebuchet: to be named Canetoad
Camel+Zombie: to be named Caecilian
Elf+Trebuchet: to be named Leiopelma
Elf+Tripper: to be named Leptodactyl

The following are unbound because the oblique component:

Endknight: to be renamed Catapult after a device similar in principle to a trebuchet
Knight+Tripper: to be named Chaperone after one gallantly accompanying another on a trip
Knight+Zombie: to be named Cannibal from the habits of zombies in recent films

The following are bound because the radial component's binding is a subset of the oblique one's binding:

Diacamel: to be renamed Camper after one going o a trip with a tent or caravan
Elf+Zombie: to be named Legba after a Voodoo spirit

Compounds of the Zebra, Giraffe, Antelope, Zemel, Satyr, Gimel, Sexton, Ninja, Fortnight, Fencer, Underscore, et cetera will be extrapolated in the usual way
