Subject: Chu pieces

In order to promote Chu Shogi in sweden I have made a translation of the
names of the Chu Shogi pieces to swedish (it can be quite annoying to
always use the english names). I was unable to translate "Kylin"
however. What exactly is a kylin? Perhaps someone also knows how to
translate it into swedish.

By the way, here is the list:

The colum "Short Swedish" could be used if it is certain that it is a
Chu Piece. In Tai Shogi for instance there is a need to separate for
example the gold general and the golden deer and different types of
chariot etc.
