;;; Japanese place name generator.
;;;
;;; From 160 town names
;;; Some spelling conversions: pp->h, kk->k, tt->t.
;;; Tried to single out common endings with a definite meaning
;;; (e.g. shima = island, yama = beach). Needs confirmation!
;;; Short/long vowel distinction missing.
;;; A few losers still find their way in.
