Yes,
it seems the item name list has directly been built from an ingame string table. One would need to hack together a little "parser" that splits up every complete name and feeds 4 new lists with it. Could surely be done in little time..
Even the Database wouldn't necessarily need an update (from one field to 4) - though it would be of more elegance than the following.
The choices of all 4 lists could be concatenated into a comma-seperated string when saving, and afterwards .split(',') when reading.
Another (rather it-related) benefit would be the fact that the new 4 string tables will be non-redundant. Every word is only saved once, which makes the memory, database and transmission footprint smaller.
At the end it seems to be a matter of how the devs assess the benefits opposed to the work that has to be done to archieve it.
Thank you for commenting on it, Purg.
