Henri Yandell commented on CODEC-57:
------------------------------------
Also... can't help but think that there's sod all testing in MetaphoneTest. We
need to add some test cases.
> Metaphone.metaphone(String) returns an empty string when passed the word
> "why".

> Key: CODEC-57
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-57
> Project: Commons Codec
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.3
> Environment: Commons-codec built from source using jdk 1.4.2.
> OS: Windows XP
> Java Build: 1.4.2
> Reporter: Adam Wilmore
> Fix For: 1.4

>
> An empty string is returned from the Metaphone.metaphone(String) method when
> passed the value "why". Variations on the value, such as "wwwhy" and "wwhhhy"
> also return empty strings.
> This appears to be an issue since other implementations of the metaphone
> algorithm, namely the PHP version, returns "H" when passed the value "why".
