Therefore Port - Left and Red and the other "Starboard" is Right and Green.

red and left - both short words. port and left - both short words.
right and green - both long words. starboard and right - both long words.
PORT is the spirit that's LEFT in the cupboard after the party
a STARBOARD would be RIGHT under your feet in space if it hasn't floated away
