Alien Module 3: Darrians Language

[smiths121]

Hi All,

Think the Darrian Language random dice method is missing a table.
Page 47 lists a set of tables for an initial consonant. However the Syllable Structure Table never has an initial consonant. Quick look shows that the syllable structure table is the alternative table from CT Module 8 Darrians, the Basic Table is missing.

Rules are:
Use Basic Table (below) for the 1st syllable of the word or if the previous syllable ended in a vowel. Otherwise use the Alternate Table (in the Darrian Book).

Basic Table
11 CVC 12 CVC 13 CVC 14 CVC 15 CVC 16 CVC
21 CVC 22 CVC 23 CVC 24 CVC 25 CVC 26 CVC
31 CVC 32 CVC 13 CVC 34 CVC 35 CVC 36 CVC
41 CVC 42 CVC 13 CVC 44 CVC 45 CVC 46 CVC
51 CVC 12 CVC 13 CVC 54 CV 55 CV 56 CV
61 CV 62 CV 63 CV 64 CV 65 CV 66 CV

Hope this helps as I do not think JB Enterprises have come up with a Darrian Name list, unless I missed it

Thanks for posting this, as I am looking over the Darrian word construction right now, and it did seem broken until I saw this table.

I noticed aswell that some words shown in the book had five letters, CVCVC rather than CVC. This table remedies that, somewhat.

At the moment, I am using the initial constanant also as a middle one for whenever that comes up.

I will be using this table when constructing my Darrian names for people and ships, thanks!
