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.
if I'm not wrong, by default, the number of single letter replacement
defines the order of suggestions here. Now, two letters would have to be
changed in case a. to get the correct version; in case b. it's only one
letter. This seems to explain all other cases as well.

Marcin
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
