I'm trying to learn how to create an affix file. I have a couple of 
questions about the different fields. I hope somebody could elaborate on 
them.

> 1     SFX - indicates this is a suffix
> 2     D   - is the name of the character which represents this suffix
> 3     Y   - indicates it can be combined with prefixes (cross product)
> 4     4   - indicates that sequence of 4 affix entries are needed to
>                properly store the affix information

   1. does field 2 mean that there is a pre-requisite of 4 "conditions"
      or affix rules for everything under the "name of the character" in
      field number 2 to run?
   2. what values can i assign to field number 2? are there rules on how
      to assign names?

> 1     SFX         - indicates this is a suffix
> 2     D           - is the name of the character which represents this 
> affix
> 3     y           - the string of chars to strip off before adding affix
>                          (a 0 here indicates the NULL string)
> 4     ied         - the string of affix characters to add
>                          (a 0 here indicates the NULL string)
> 5     [^aeiou]y   - the conditions which must be met before the affix
>                     can be applied

   1. when working with PFX, does [^aeiou]y mean that the first letter
      should not be a,e,i,o,u and that the second letter should be "y"?
      accordingly, doing y[^aeiou] in PFX, means first letter should be
      "y", and second letter should not be a,e,i,o,u?


   1. if i want to represent all words that end with a vowel, and add
      the suffix "ng", is the following syntax correct?

> SFX G Y 1
> SFX G   0 ng    aeiou
    or should i create an entry for all the vowels like:

> SFX A Y 1
> SFX A     a   ng   a
> SFX E      e   ng   e
and so on....
