1.1 Update

A downloadable script

Updated vocabulary with new components, after consulting housemates on good nearby place names I'd missed.

Generated a lot of names during background testing to spot oddities, and think I have a set of rules that will prevent nonsense: 

  • No single word should have more than three syllables.
  • Elements of a compound term shouldn't both end with the same syllable.
  • Double letters on conjunctions should become single letters.
  • Triple letters on conjunctions should become double letters (and rule above is not applied?).

These cases are rare but happen, and really stick out when they do. Now I just have to work out how to define these things and write them!
