Hi everyone,

Is there any support for morphology in the existing
thesaurus code?  If I select the word "cats" in a text,
will it give me synonyms for "cat"?

If not, are there plans to develop something like
this?  It seems like it might be something that
could be achieved with calls to hunspell, at least
for those languages which have some morphology 
encoded in an affix file.

An alternate approach would be to include cross-references
in my thesaurus from inflected words to the root form,
but this would be a big waste of memory for Irish.  Many
of the variants that need to be handled involve
only small orthographic changes (e.g. woman = "bean"
in the dictionary, but occasionally written "bhean" or "mbean").
When you multiply these by the "real" morphological
variants, there are a _lot_ of forms to be added.

Any advice appreciated.

-Kevin
