Ah, John, you don't think I can get an elephant through a hurricane in a
reed boat? (Okay, a very strong tropical depression.) I can see the
islanders laughing at the entire concept of that mythological monster, the
imaginary elephant, but still keeping the name for the game piece. The
expression 'seeing the elephant' would take on an entirely different
meaning for them, though.
Seriously, thanks for the comment. I am still fishing for names; maybe I
should run some contests: Name that Game and Name that Piece.
