To be fair, amongst isn't super common in American english; among is
more common. But amongst should still be present in hunspell as it's not
*that* uncommon. The rest of the words should really be there too.

I confirm the underlying issue here; the variants don't seem to be being
included in the hunspell dictionary and a few other dictionaries are not
included.

I believe this is likely an upstream issue in its source, but I'll try
to dig into this some more when I get a chance.

Thanks for the report!
