Name generator with meaning?

Hi all,

I am really bad at his it seems as I can not figure out how to do the following. I want to use the Name generators from some old Dragon Magazines That not only generated names with pre- and suffixes but also had every pre- and suffix mean something. For example a Dwarf named ([Prefix] Al- [Suffix] -Bir) Al-Bir would translate to Forge Warden. I can create a name easily from pre- and suffixes but what I have trouble with is linking the meaning to it. The output should be something like this:

The Dwarf is called Al-Bir which means Forge-Warden in Tradespeak

I wager I have to set variables to use? Anyone a pointer?

    On the off chance that you are still around, or perhaps someone else is interested in doing something similar. I have just finished doing pretty much just that (though my version just uses the stronghold names). You need to do use a dictionary table and inline variables.

    Table: DwarfCity
    [[@name1=NameTest1][@name2=NameTest2] >>Proper] ([#{name1} Translation] [#{name2} Translation])

    Table:NameTest1
    blah
    bleh
    bluh

    Table:NameTest2
    meh
    mur
    moh

    Table: Translation
    type: dictionary
    blah:meaning
    bleh:another meaning
    bluh:more meaning
    meh:this means nothing
    mur:you get the idea
    moh:I hope
