I figure there must be a more clever & efficient way to do this:

The very clever and extremely efficient way would be to use a p-list, but it's more work: would make little sense if that's a once-for-all operation. For instance you would build the p-list with:

set textplist to "<dict>
<key>av</key><string>apple</string>
<key>bx</key><string>apple</string>
<key>bw</key><string>apple</string>
[...]
</dict>"

Then you "open" (really, parse) the p-list with:

set myplist to PListOpen textplist

And finally (ta-da!) you would just write:

set z to PListGet (PListChild myplist key (x & y))
