Description:

Hello,

In the FTS/Limitations part of the documentation, it says :

"Another example — the PostgreSQL mailing list archives contained 910,989
unique words with 57,491,343 lexemes in 461,020 messages."

How could the number of lexemes be greater than unique words ?

Thank you
Julien

Note the part with the hyphenated word example.
