1. In Dzongkha (Asian Language that i am working in)
2. I mean, root word and word formed after affixation to this root
word.
Does the meaning of those words have to be related or can they
differ. Just curious to know since in my language many words can be formed
from a single root word after affixations, but in some case its meaning are
not related to its root word.
For example, in English, for a root word work, we have working, rework,
worked...etc. which all of them are related to the root word work.
Hi,
Sorry, if my question seems to be non-relevance..
The question is...
Does the meaning of a word formed after applying the affixes have to be
related to its root word.
Or can it be different.
Thanks...

Cthar.
Hello,
I would say it depends if you plan to create a only spelling dictionary
or something more than that.
In the first case, it does not matter if the meaning of an affixed word
is not related to the root word, for the goal of the spellchecker is
only to warn user if a word does not exists.
But if you plan to create something more than just a spelling
dictionary, it could be a good idea to do otherwise.
As you may have noticed, with Hunspell you can grammaticaly tag words.
So even if words have related meanings it would be easier to separate
them if their grammatical categories are different.
If a noun becomes a verb with an affix, it's better to create separate
entries.
Besides, prefixing words with flag rules is often confusing when it
comes to check if a word is already in the dictionary (if you write left
to right).
