Trying to create a word list out of other word lists - help!

Post by Alan Bolte »

:?
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).
