One implication of removing the Amb- prefix is the need to rename the Straight Rook-Bishop alternator in pentagonal geometries. On first spotting this piece I named it Ambrook as something combining the straightness of the Rook and Bishop but alternating steps of their moves. Provisionlly I have chosen Rectifier, as this shares the initial of Rhino and suggests someone straightening things out. If no-one can better this name and there's no objection to saying that the Curved pieces are another kind of Rhino, Alpaca, Quagga et cetera I will proceed.
