Increase two numeric variables incrementally together

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help with what is probably a fairly easy problem. I have two variables, i is between 1-5, j is between 11-15

I'd like to produce this:

Code:
1_11
2_12
3_13
4_14
5_15

Each number goes up incrementally with the other.

But my shoddy code is not playing ball:

Code:
END=5
END2=15
for ((i=1;i<=END;i++))
do
for ((j=10;j<=END2;j++))
do
echo "$i"_"$j"
done
done

And is producing:

Code:
1_11
1_12
1_13
1_14
1_15
2_11
2_12
2_13
2_14
2_15
3_11
3_12
3_13
3_14
3_15
4_11
4_12
4_13
4_14
4_15
5_11
5_12
5_13
5_14
5_15

As you can see, this is not what I what I had intended Smilie

This is a small scale example - in reality i is between 1000-6000 and j is between 7000-12000 and I am creating files with this template "$i"_"$j".txt
Using this code, I am getting thousands of unwanted files. I just want $i to increase with $j, rather than every possible combination of $i and $j.

Any help using shell (rather than python/perl) scripting would be very much appreciated.

NAME
nvram - manipulate Open Firmware NVRAM variables SYNOPSIS
nvram [ -p ] [ -f filename ] [ name ] [= value ] ... DESCRIPTION
The nvram command allows manipulation of Open Firmware NVRAM variables. It can be used to get or set a variable. It can also be used to print all of the variables or set a list of variables from a file. Changes to NVRAM variables are only saved by clean restart or shutdown. In principle, name can be any string. In practice, not all strings will be accepted. New World machines can create new variables as desired. Some variables require administrator privilege to get or set. The given value must match the data type required for name. Binary data can be set using the %xx notation, where xx is the hex value of the byte. The type for new variables is always binary data. OPTIONS
-p Print all of the Open Firmware variables. -f filename Set Open Firmware variables from a text file. The file must be a list name=value statements. If the last character of a line is , the value will be continued to the next line. EXAMPLES
example% nvram boot-args="-s rd=*hd:10" Set the boot-args variable to "-s rd=*hd:10". This would specify single user mode with the root device in hard drive partition 10. example% nvram my-variable="String One%00String Two%00%00" Create a new variable, my-variable, containing a list of two C-strings that is terminated by a NUL.
