Okay. Praying Mantis is another (D + A + F + W), like very recent Mastodon. In Cockroach, at last precisely a new Betza triplet. Squirrel (N, D, A) we just looked at elsewhere is the best known one, almost overused, a Betza triple compound. But here this Cockroach, being (Knight + Wazir + Ferz), is a Betza tri-compound for sure. There are only six(6) possibilites and we have now located two of them back in history -- without going to 'ECV' as yet.
