Returning to the topic. Probably your best bet is to talk directly to the people who made hunspell, which was specifically designed to work better with compounding languages than aspell. You can very probably work out your own schema for the suffixes -- which is what we did in English -- so that the letters will mean whatever you want them to. One obvious one is to to have a gender marker, so that the correct article form can be shoved after. Swedish is a pretty elegant and regular language grammatically, so it shouldn't be that difficult. Long and dreary, yes. But there is a program which takes a list of words, and the suffix rules you have chosen, and then combines them into a dicitonary file. If you could get hold of a known good Swedish wordlist (and I think that such a thing does exist) and then sit down and work out a marking scheme that worked with hunspell, the rest would be mechanical. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work.
