Without seeing your actual input, I'll extrapolate from your broken program instead:

Code:
set -- ANUP ANVA ANYA ANZH ARMU BELA CAWI CHAZ CHJO CHSC CHSH CRSW DAHA DIWE DOWI ELBU GLGO HOCH JASH JEAM JERE JOWR JYAK KABL KAGI KARO KRAR LAFR LATE LICR MAGE MEWE MILE MIWA NALU NYSH NYWE PAMA SATI SHCO SHME STAL SWPA TAGR TIKI UZOM

for x in 1712 1922 2001 1700 1743 1860 2017 1838 2190 1750 1973 1909 2075 1843 1906 2103 1957 1813 1888 1961 1893 1772 2038 1957 1959 2055 2036 1903 1775 1839 2144 2322 1844 1855 1722 1731 1722 2038 1788 1856 1949 1837 1864 1847 1831
do
        echo "$1" "$x"
        shift 1
done

Feel free to post your actual input, so I can do what you actually want.
This worked-many thanks!

If you have bash-3 or higher you can use arrays:
Code:
A=(
ANUP ANVA ANYA ANZH ARMU BELA CAWI CHAZ CHJO CHSC CHSH CRSW DAHA DIWE DOWI ELBU GLGO HOCH JASH JEAM JERE JOWR JYAK KABL KAGI KARO KRAR LAFR LATE LICR MAGE MEWE MILE MIWA NALU NYSH NYWE PAMA SATI SHCO SHME STAL SWPA TAGR TIKI UZOM
)
B=(
1712 1922 2001 1700 1743 1860 2017 1838 2190 1750 1973 1909 2075 1843 1906 2103 1957 1813 1888 1961 1893 1772 2038 1957 1959 2055 2036 1903 1775 1839 2144 2322 1844 1855 1722 1731 1722 2038 1788 1856 1949 1837 1864 1847 1831
)
afields=${#A[@]}
i=0
while [ $i -lt $afields ]
do
  echo "${A[$i]} ${B[$i]}"
  ((i++))
done

Try also
Code:
A="ANUP ANVA ANYA ANZH ARMU BELA CAWI CHAZ CHJO CHSC CHSH CRSW DAHA DIWE DOWI ELBU GLGO HOCH JASH JEAM JERE JOWR JYAK KABL KAGI KARO KRAR LAFR LATE LICR MAGE MEWE MILE MIWA NALU NYSH NYWE PAMA SATI SHCO SHME STAL SWPA TAGR TIKI UZOM"
B="1712 1922 2001 1700 1743 1860 2017 1838 2190 1750 1973 1909 2075 1843  1906 2103 1957 1813 1888 1961 1893 1772 2038 1957 1959 2055 2036 1903  1775 1839 2144 2322 1844 1855 1722 1731 1722 2038 1788 1856 1949 1837  1864 1847 1831"
while [ ${A// } ]; do echo ${A%% *} ${B%% *}; A="${A#* } "; B=${B#* }; done
ANUP 1712
ANVA 1922

Rudi, your solution needs exactly one space character between the elements.
For example 1843 1906 not 1843 1906.
Here is another solution that also works with older bash and ksh, and can be piped to a while loop for further processing.
Code:
paste <( printf "%s\n" \
ANUP  ANVA ANYA ANZH ARMU BELA CAWI CHAZ CHJO CHSC CHSH CRSW DAHA DIWE DOWI ELBU GLGO HOCH JASH JEAM JERE JOWR JYAK KABL KAGI KARO KRAR LAFR LATE LICR MAGE MEWE MILE MIWA NALU NYSH NYWE PAMA SATI SHCO SHME STAL SWPA TAGR TIKI UZOM
) <( printf "%s\n" \
1712 1922 2001 1700 1743 1860 2017 1838 2190 1750 1973 1909 2075 1843  1906 2103 1957 1813 1888 1961 1893 1772 2038 1957 1959 2055 2036 1903  1775 1839 2144 2322 1844 1855 1722 1731 1722 2038 1788 1856 1949 1837  1864 1847 1831
) | while read A B
do
  echo "$A $B"
done
