but apparently thinks non-lion refers to non-Lion moves though, rather than non-Lion pieces, ...
I am not even sure what that would mean. Of course the consensus is that non-Lion refers to a piece type, and until now I have never seen any other interpretation. The 81-Dojo server (when it was still featuring Chu Shogi) interpreted it as types. No phrase that would not explicitly contain the word 'move' or 'capture' would ever refer to a move. Do there really exist people that seriously would want to argue that when the rules specify "the Queen is not not allowed to capture Pawn" that this means Rooks, Bishops, Kings and other Pawns are not allowed to capture a Pawn either, because they would do it through a Queen move? This is insane.
