Trying to create a word list out of other word lists - help!
So, I'm trying to creat a word list of potential ship names, to be weeded out manually at a later date. Here are 3 5-word sample lists:
List1
Axe
Bow
Staff
Rod
Cloak
List2
Untrammeled
Insufferable
Indomitable
Irreparable
Unyielding
List3
Dignity
Damage
Order
Cruelty
The end result being
Axe of Untrammeled Dignity
Rod of Unyielding Order
etc.
I have 3 lists of dozens of words, with which to create hundreds, perhaps thousands of names. But I haven't a clue how to put them together. Is there some function of some program that I'm not aware of? Is there some cheap-ass program I can download? Is this the sort of thing I can ask a programmer friend to do in 5 minutes?

Should be easy enough to do in perl. Unfortunately I don't know perl (well).Alan Bolte wrote:
