Ferfil is the name George Jelliss(sp?) gave to the FA, I read somewhere on CVP site long ago. Modern Elephant is a name for it I first saw on the Fairy Chess Pieces wiki (maybe a citation was requested by wiki staff, back then(?!)) - perhaps Dr. H.G. Muller wrote at least some of the wiki, and maybe even gave that piece that name(??) - not sure. In historic Courier-Spiel it was simply called a 'bishop' (chess' modern bishop is called a 'courier'), which simply wouldn't do at all nowadays.
