Hashes to name generator and parser

===================================

Uses three lists:

* List of colors, distilled from doloreslabs color names v1 (see

  http://blog.doloreslabs.com/?p=17, now at 

  http://web.archive.org/web/20120828112952/http://blog.doloreslabs.com/?p=17). 

  Used last word for each color, cleaned mispellings by hand.

* List of animals, distilled from WordNet 3.0 (wn animal -treen,

  you'll need to patch your binary to see the whole output). Kept all

  animals that were only one word. One animal per synset, first

  one-word synonym picked.

* List of locations, distilled from YAGO 2.0 (which in turn distilled

  it from Wikipedia and other sources), postprocessed from hasArea.tsv

  (dropped all locations that required non-printable characters).

It produces verbalizations in the form 'color' 'animal' # 'left-over

number' from 'location'.

It takes a hash in base 16 as argument. With the current lists, it can

represent up to 8 positions. 10 positions works fine with a few digits

number. If the hash is small, it will produce an animal, then

color+animal and finally color+animal from location before the full form.

Use the option --parse to obtain back the hash, the following shell

command should be an identity transformation:

$ python namegen.py `python namegen.py 62623831ab` --parse

62623831ab
