Prefixing convention[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

I am aware that the prefixing convention is not merely about adding general moves, having used your goldsteward in what is thus far my only published variant. However, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, the goldsowon's move seemed most logical to apply to the hypothetical 'goldwing'. I admit that its presence in MAB 11 is more logical than that in MAB 4.
I see that you have added the goldsowon etc. to MAB 11, but am confused as to what the different possibilities are for silversowon etc.; as I am interpreting it, both options come out as a wazir+silverpickpocket, by extrapolating in the same manner as with silversow (which I'm pretty sure is at least the second interpretation (extending the long moves of the silversow)); if not, what exactly is the first interpretation? If this is taken as the case, I suppose it would also be possible to likewise extrapolate the raj pieces (e.g. silversahibon, brassmensaon, azurenobobon, etc.)?
One other thought for the moment: what about pieces moving in 3 different types of distance or more, e.g. goldsowon+elephant? How these could work is, at the moment anyway, beyond me...
Btw, sorry if I seem impertinent/rude/etc. I don't mean to come off that way, rather enquiring out of genuine curiosity. Answers to any/all of these questions and potentially the many more that I have now or in the future would be greatly appreciated.:)
