Hi folks,
Awhile ago I submitted a patch that was totally in error. This patch
would have put the e-n sign in the suffix schoen. Dave very properly
blew a gasket (I hope that didn't contribute to his burn <grin>) and
the gross idea was promptly dropped. Literacy prevailed.
However, there are times when oen _should_ use the e-n sign. Think of
bioengineering, which is currently handled right, and coenzyme which
is not. The attached patch "fixes" a few of these errors.
This patch affects a lot of words. On another list a maintainer
requested a lot of small patches rather than one big one, saying that
the big ones were harder to handle. I didn't want to have lots of
offset confusion though so left this one big. Advice/requirements for
the future are appreciated.
Some of these are strange words. I never heard of Boende but it does
exist and is in Wikipedia. I never heard of Symoens either and he
isn't on Wikipedia, but he's sited in the back of a Walter Scott
book. While protoenchanter is obviously a fictitious word, one can
imagine valid words that begin with proto so I hope it's allowed to
stand. Constitooency is out-and-out dialect but ooen in the middle of
a word should probably use the e-n sign.
I hope these are reasonable,
