[Vineetrika]

I got the pattern but there are a lot of unknowns. I am working on it.

Spoiler for My findings so far ... hope it helps someone else

- find out how many vowels are in the state and start with the letter in that place
- if you find a vowel, pick next/prev/same based on some unknown
- if you find a consonant, pick letter in the alphabet series after this letter. the unknown is how many to count to pick the letter.

For e.g.:
SOUTHCAROLINA = FBYNQJOB
# of stateChars : 13
# of vowels: 6 => starting letter is C from the 6th position
# of consts: 7

C = F => C DE F
A = B => next letter
R = Y => R STUVWX Y
O = N => prev letter
L = Q => L MNOP Q
I = J => next letter
N = O => N O
A = B => next letter

Spoiler for Thanks Vineetrika

I did not have time to look on where to start ... but deciphered the rest of the rules.
So I just did a blind shot hoping you were right on the start position. ABORT = 2 vowels - start with second letter.
Still it does not seem so likely with my rules.
