Derived names in other sets of SOLLs will be:
	Ninja/Nimel+Ultimatum/Lumel=DOVERCRAFT/DAJJ/CODAJJ/CODOVERCRAFT
	Disguise/Dump+Daste/Dardness=DOTSPUR/DARDSHIP/CODARDSHIP/CODOTSPUR
	Ninja+Nimel+Ultimatum+Lumel=DELICOPTER
	Zebra/Zemel+Zoetrope/Zomel=SOVERCRAFT/SAJJ/COSAJJ/COSOVERCRAFT
	Stripe/Sump+Saste/Sardness=SOTSPUR/SARDSHIP/COSARDSHIP/COSOTSPUR
	Zebra+Zemel+Zoetrope+Zomel=SELICOPTER
	Giraffe/Gimel+Gyroscope/Gymel=BOVERCRAFT/BAJJ/COBAJJ/COBOVERCRAFT
	Blotch/Bump+Baste/Bardness=BOTSPUR/BARDSHIP/COBARDSHIP/COBOTSPUR
	Giraffe+Gimel+Gyroscope+Gymel=BELICOPTER
Thoughts of these sets of SOLLs are also turning my attention toward
remaining compounds between pieces with prime and twice-prime SOLLs and
pieces with the square SOLL and/or its dual. Symmetric-piece names that I
have devised include Ninja+Opossum=OPHIR (a city named in Masefield),
Nimel+Opossum=OPPROBRIUM, Elf+Eloper=ELIXIR, Lecturer+Eloper=ELYSIUM. I may
eventualy add Fortnight+Heptagram and Fortnight+Hemel ones too. However, I
am stuck for ideas for -ede names for Disguise+Soaper and Cloak+Ladder, and
-ave ones Dump+Soaper and Oration+Ladder, so any ideas for alternative
endings are still welcome. I assume that there is unlikely to ever be a big
enough 3d board for the likes of Arbez+Zoetrope and Fencer+Gyroscope.
	I have recently been wondering whether to give three-component oblique
pieces distinct endings, but that would involve new changes. For example, I
would have to choose replacements for Bushido and Hidalgo to avoid a clash
with the fixed buffalo. Any ideas on those?
