According to Dominique Arpin:
> I will install htdig 3.2 beta6 and I will try this patch.
Your french.aff file only defines altstringchar entries for tex, not
for latin1, so you shouldn't need the patch I mentioned. As far as
I can tell, the patch won't make any difference for your affix file.

The problem is in the french.0 file. You'll need to add an entry:
acouph�ne/X
in the appropriate spot, and then run "htfuzzy endings". Do the same
for any other word that doesn't pluralize properly, if the word doesn't
appear in french.0.
