Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Let's finish the A's. Italian alfieri and Spanish alfil show transit of Chess from India, where Sanskrit word for elephant corresponds, across Persia and Arabia. Sorrifully, one of the very last places Chess reached is Russia, hence its popularity. Chess pieces Alfil and Amazon are respectively too weak and too strong for most modern purposes. Amphibean is rather unnecessary tag, basically just meaning compound.  Frog for example is Wazir plus Trebouchet (0,3), the latter component catalogued if not named by Charles Gilman now with my deliberately-archaic spelling. V.R. Parton's Anti-King Peter Aronson recycles in AntiKing Chess.  Problem-theme arrow pieces gain extra strength, or offensive coverage, upon checking.  To help out with example, Autohopper type of piece may be found in 1930's Chess-Battle out of precisely Russia, in its Cavalry unit. It just means Cavalry may overleap only friendly pieces. 
Antipodean piece, from British and German periodicals mid-20th century, to reappear at (4,4), could just as well go anywhere else by varying definition. How about Antipodean (7,7), disappearance and reappearance at (7,7) from one corner to another? And taking the whole 64 board of 8x8 squares along with it.
