Aurelian, the RNN is called Waran or Varan by problemists. (Source Giffard/Bienabe, 1993)
For the different bent riders, I suggest you take inspiration from different mythical monsters.
Please resist to use Aanca/Anka, I cry when I see that. It is not because the mistake was done once that we are obliged to perpetuate the mistake. Once we know, we are no more ignorant. Aanca is the word used in Alfonso X codex for the F^R. It was the medieval Spanish rendering of the Arabic word Anka. That word designated a mythical giant bird preying elephants like in Persian tales. Murray thought that giant bird was a Gryphon (which was a different monster). OK, Gryphon is too much installed in the CV word to change it, but calling Aanca something else is a mistake.
Especially if it is to designate the N^B which was an Unicorn (meaning a Rhino) in the same Spanish old text!
