That is a given. LO uses hunspell itself, but integrates also with other

That is not a requirement for the spell checker, only one for the human in

Exactly. And there it depends strongly on the structure of the language how
complex that dictionary has to be.

Well, they could be list of words, but this is inefficient. In reality they
consist of patterns and rules to modify those patterns/stems.
