Well, I don't know about you Saul but this looks like an official go-ahead
to me <BIG grin>.

BTW, have any of you checked this page out. It has lots of really
interesting stuff, very applicable to the present problem:

Well, what do you think of the word generation methodology? Before we
can implement it we need to develope some more detailed mophological
and phonomological rules. We could start by doing a word count and 
frequency distributions of words we have so far. We can then isolate
some phonomes in the words in the dictionary.

Any other ideas?
