Seems that even if ispell.el suggests that 'Shaft' might come from Schaf+t (that is, something in the form Schaf/FLAG), what is actually saved in ~/.ispell_ngerman is 'Schaft', the word, and not ROOT/AFFIX FLAG. At least that is what I find here.

I do not see that this results in things being saved in the form ROOT/AFFIX FLAG. That ?? probably means for ispell some sort of call for attention, probably meaning that the word will be affix compressed if the personal wordlist is munched. Another thing is if Schaf+t is a correct derivative from the root Schaf with the german affix table, but that is an ingerman issue. Cheers, -- Agustin
