A special data file listing words and word types and associating them with

The assignment of a word type to each word has to be done manually (can't be
done in a purely automated way without some seriously futuristic AI that's
still 20 years away). There are 5 word type groups that it uses:
adjectives and adverbs, nouns, nouns as adjectives, and special prefixes
such as "Hypno-" and "Robo-". The word type groups are defined by the
positions they can take in the name with respect to the other word type
groups.

Nothing past '97 yet. Tamy Teed has offered to update the data file with
'98 and '99 stuff in her spare time.
