Betza's first sentence notes around 1996, although the CVPage article says 2001, that Alfil, Ferz, Wazir, Dabbabah, Knight are Betza's five units for compounding. Somewhere he lists all the combinations: AF, AW, AD, AN, FW, FD, FN, WD, WN, DN, AFW, AFD, AFN, FWD, FWN, WDN. Jeremy Good also made a list of compounds. A Chess-Different-Armies copycat, other than Betza's, uses some of these. We shall find them, to see especially which have been combined with Knight in triple-compound embodied in actual CV. Then we know their actual original names.
