One of the languages I am working on is agglutinative in nature. The most
afflicted sentence constituent is verb, which can carry up to 20 affixes
(both prefixes and suffixes).

I wonder if anyone knows how to enable this feature in OpenOffice's
hunspell. I would like to support multiple affixes as follows:
PFX + PFX + PFX + PFX + VERB + SFX + SFX + SFX + SFX + SFX
e.g. ndi + kana + dza + ku + lemb + ets + er + a + ni + tu
=> ndikanadzakulembetseranitu (=I would have registered for you)

I have tried using COMPLEXPREFIXES flag and continuation classes (as in PFX
G 0 dza/ABCE .) but this makes it understand only two-fold affixes.

I might be missing something, but I would like to support n-fold for an
abrtriary 0 <= n <= 20.

I'm using this reference:
