---------------------------------------
Summary: Double metaphone should handle 'K' for 'kc' entries
instead of 'KK'
Key: CODEC-281
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-281
Project: Commons Codec
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.14
Reporter: Guillas Stéphanie
Fix For: 1.15
One example is Kir*kc*aldy: which is presently encoded as "KR*KK*".
When omitting 'k' or 'c' letters (for example, Kircaldy or Kirkaldy) it is
encoded as "KRKL".
The correction consists to verify when letter 'c' follows 'k', if 'c' is
encoded as 'K', it is ignored as for a succession of 'kk' letters. With this
correction, Kirkcaldy would be encoded as "KRKL" which is more discriminant and
compliant with the phonetic.
