Hi,
I would like to understand how hunspell tries to suggest the right spelling.
Here is some examples of the strange behaviour we get:
***** example 1 *****
_déterrer_ is the correct spelling of a verb ("to dig up" in English)
a. If I write: _détérer_
Hunspell suggests: déférer, détirer
b. If I write: _détèrer_ (the second accent is different)
Hunspell suggests: détirer, délétère, détourer, _déterrer_ and a lot of
others words.
The fourth word is the correct one.
But why Hunspell is able to suggest it if I write _détèrer_, but is not
able to do the same if I write détérer.
e, é and è are defined as similar characters with the line
MAP eéèêë
If I write _détêrer_, _déterrer_ is suggested at the third position.
If I write _détërer_, _déterrer_ is suggested at the second position.
***** example 2 *****
_fumer_ is the correct spelling of a verb ("to smoke" in English)
If I write: _fûmmer_
Hunspell suggests: gemmer, nommer, gommer, sommer, pommer, fermer,
frimer, former, filmer, fûtier, enflammer, emmerdé, drummer, commerce,
emmerde
There is not one word close to the right one.
It should be easy for Hunspell to suggest _fumer_ with the lines:
MAP uùûü
REP mm m
But Hunspell believes that _gemmer_ is closer to _fûmmer_ than _fumer_.
Why?
***** end of examples *****
I just don't understand how Hunspell makes suggestions.
I tried for example to remove the line KEY (see the Annex below).
With _détérer_, Hunspell suggests now a lot of words instead of 2, and
the right one (_déterrer_) is at the eighth position.
But it does not change anything else for the others wrong spelling and
for _fûmmer_.
Best regards,
Olivier
