Re: TECH: Syllable generation

What a cool notion! I have 21 consonants and eight vowels, and I have to
admit, I'm using a really weird set of "Romanization" symbols right now,
especially for the vowels, but I could be flexible on that. Allowable syllable
patterns are V, VC, CV, and CVC, with one of the consonants excluded from the
final position, and that's it.

PS I can write the functions to make Excel generate the syllables, but I have
to alter the function slightly for each syllable--do you by any chance know
how to record a Macro to make Excel do the altering??
