Reading http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=114774 I
understood that the OOo thesaurus support affixation, i.e., that if
"river" admits "stream" as a synonym, then looking for a synonym of
"rivers" will bring up "streams".

Now, this never worked in the Italian thesaurus. Only the base form is
proposed. I mean, if "piccolo" (Italian for "small") admits
"limitato" (Italian for "limited") as a synonym, looking for synonyms of
the plural form "piccoli" does not show the plural "limitati", but the
base form "limitato". And this happens for all words, in OOo 3.2.1 too,
where the English thesaurus has the affixation working and is unaffected
by the issue mentioned above.

It should thus be possible to improve the Italian thesaurus so that it
supports affixation like the English one. Can anybody point me to some
resources on how to do it? I had a look at
http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/thesaurus.html but I wasn't able to
find an answer there.
