Hi, we are working on a Turkish Hunspell dictionary and affix file, I have a question about 2 fold affix stripping.
Below is an example affix file for 2 basic suffixes for Turkish, Plural (-ler -lar) and direction (-e , -a). My question is , Hunspell supports 2 fold suffix stripping, so it sounds it should be possible to define suffix combinations like -ler-e and -lar-a (as in kedilere = to cats elmalara = to apples ) But on my tests : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hunspell -m -d turkish kedi kedi st:kedi kediler kediler st:kedi fl:L kedilere kedilere st:kedi fl:L fl:E kedilera kedilera st:kedi fl:L fl:E Though it worked for "kedilere", the word "kedilera" is definitely wrong. It seems it does not care about the rules defined for the second suffix, so does this mean that the rules defined for suffixes (like SFX E1 0 ye [eiöü]) only valid if suffix is attached to a word but not valid if it is attached to another suffix? If it is the second case, we'll have to define combinations of suffixes as different affix rules like: SFX L1 0 lere [eiöü] ... thanks for any help, Mehmet example dictionary (turkish.dic): 3 kedi/L0E1C1S1 elma/L0E1C1S1 dolap/L0E2C1S2 turkish.aff : LANG tr_TR SET UTF-8 TRY İiIıŞşÇçĞğÜüÖö-qwertyuopasdfghjklzxcvbnmQWERTYUOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM' # Names, plural suffixes. -ler -lar # if last vowel is (eiöü) -lar is appended # if last vowel is (aıou) -lar is appended # Examples: kedi-ler elma-lar Kurt-lar SFX L0 Y 6 SFX L0 0 ler/E1 [eiöü] SFX L0 0 ler/E1 [eiöü][^aeioöuü] SFX L0 0 ler/E1 [eiöü][^aeioöuü][^aeioöuü] SFX L0 0 lar/E1 [aıou] SFX L0 0 lar/E1 [aıou][^aeioöuü] SFX L0 0 lar/E1 [aıou][^aeioöuü][^aeioöuü] # Names, direction -e -a # if last vowel is (eiöü) -e is appended sepet-e # if last vowel is (aıou) -a is appended salon-a # if last letter of word is a vowel, and extra y appended elma-ya or kedi-ye # if word has more than 1 sounds, last consonant is (pçtk) and comes after a vowel, # it transforms into (bcdğ) dolap-a -> dolab-a.
