Yossi Tamari created CODEC-199:
----------------------------------
Summary: Bug in HW rule in Soundex
Key: CODEC-199
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-199
Project: Commons Codec
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.10
Reporter: Yossi Tamari
The Soundex algorithm says that if two characters that map to the same code are
separated by H or W, the second one is not encoded.
However, in the implementation (in Soundex.getMappingCode() line 191), a
character that is preceded by two characters that are either H or W, is not
encoded, regardless of what the last consonant was.
