Implementation: 1. Determine word length (1D6 syllables).
2. Determine syllable structure with 2 1D6 rolls.
Use the BASIC syllable type table if FIRST syllable
in a word, or if previous syllable ended in a VOWEL.
Otherwise, use the ALTERNATE table.
3. Determine initial consonants from column 1; vowels
from column 2; final consonants from column 3.
4. When a SINGLE letter VOWEL is rolled, roll another
1D6; on result of 1, roll an additional VOWEL; if that
is a SINGLE letter VOWEL, add it to make the first
VOWEL a new DOUBLET, i.e. "AE", etc.
5. Do not permit THREE OR MORE VOWEL LETTERS in succession
from an occurence of say, CV.VC, or CV.V.CVC, etc.

SAMPLE GURVIN WORD
To generate a Gurvin word, a roll of 1D6 for the number of syllables is
made, result of 2.
For the first syllable, the red die is 5 and the white die is 6, meaning
construction CVC is used from the BASIC table. Since the first syllable ends
with a consonant, the ALTERNATE table is consulted for a red die of 2 and
a white die of 1, meaning construction CV.
Consulting the letter tables for the first syllable, CVC , a die throw
of 2, followed by a red die of 1 and white die of 3 produces the letter "G"
from the INITIAL CONSONANT table. For the VOWEL, a die throw of 6, followed
by a red die of 5 and a white die of 5 produces the letters "UA". Since the
VOWEL is a doublet, no extra die throw is made. For the FINAL CONSONANT, a
die throw of 5, followed by a red die of 6 and a white die of 6 produces the
letter "T". The first syllable is "GUAT".
For the last syllable, CV, the INITIAL CONSONANT table is consulted with
a die throw of 4, followed by a red die of 4 and a white die of 1 produces
the letter "N". Finally, the VOWEL table is consulted with a die throw of
3, followed by a red die of 2 and a white die of 4 producing the letter "E".
Since we have a single letter VOWEL, we roll an additional die to check
for a doublet. We roll a 1 meaning we should roll for an additional VOWEL
from the table. A die throw of 6, followed by a red die of 6 and a white die
of 5 produces a single letter VOWEL "Y", which we add to our syllable. The
second syllable is "NEY".
Combining the two syllables, we have the Gurvin word "GUATNEY" meaning
chaos, in the philosophical sense.

few "Hiver" names from Spica sector, Library data references, and a listing
of names from the "Discord" subsector published in Imperium Staple #10 by
Mike Mikesh, as well as some of my own. Mike and I "cross-compiled" the
two versions of Gurvin that we had developed separately for this table.)
