Well, I originally intended them all to be CVCVC, but
as it turns out, they aren't. I don't know how that
came to be. I mean, since I create the words, how hard
can it be to make them CVCVC? :)

Good suggestion, tho. I'll think about it. Hmm. Adjectives
beginning with V isn't good, because VV is definitely not
allowed. OTOH, V isn't allowed at the end of a word either,
so that might not be a problem after all. As I said, I'll
have to think about it.
