it makes me a little irrationaly upset that we have left and right, both one syllable words

but the naval version of left and right, is a one syllable Port, and a two syllable Starboard

Right and left are relative to your perspective. Port and starboard are relative to the ship and dont change if you're facing aft.

As for syllable count, eh vOv
