Is it possible to use a hyphen "-" as part of an affix
in the .aff file (in hunspell)? How?
There is a rule in Filipino word formation that when
an affix that ends in a consonant gets affixed on a
word that starts with a vowel, there should be a
hyphen in between. else if the word starts with a
consonant, no hyphen is needed
example: pag-asa ("pag" is an affix, "asa" is the root
word.)
pagtakbo ("pag" is the affix, "takbo" is the root
word. since the root word starts with a consonant, a
hyphen is not needed)
i tried the following code in the .aff file
WORDCHARS -
PFX A Y 2
PFX A 0 pag- [aeiou]
PFX A 0 pag [^aeiou]
and in the .dic file
1
asa/A
takbo/A
Checking it would result
pagtakbo = correct
pag-asa = wrong (with the affix "pag" underlined)
I used
openoffice 2.0.3 (with hunspell spellchecker)
windows XP
