P=100, N=300, B=310, Commoner=390, R=500, Q=900 are the best values I have found, where the Commoner is a (Ferz + Wazir). Ralph Betza has valued the Gryphon (Ferz, then Rook moves) at 1.46 Rooks, in calculations mostly independent of board size. A Gnu (Knight + Camel) moves to 16 of those same squares. The color-alternating Aanca (Wazir, then Bishop moves) should be worth 80 percent of that. A Gazelle (Knight + Zebra) moves to 16 of those same squares. Adjusting the values for the 12x12 board used in Gryphon Aanca Chess and other games yields:

P=100, N=300, B=375, Commoner=325, R=600, Q=1075 and

Spotted Gryphon=400 to 450, Gazelle=450, Gnu=500, Aanca=700, Gryphon=875.
