Nguyen Minh Gia Huy updated LUCENE-9295:
----------------------------------------
    Description: 
I have a concern on how [Dutch Snowball 
algorithm|http://snowball.tartarus.org/algorithms/dutch/stemmer.html] handles 
the grave accent of *è.*

It removes the grave accents on *{{à}}*, {{*ò*}}, *{{ù}}*, *{{ì}}* but doesn't 
with *è*. I wonder if there is something special with *è* that the stemmer 
wants to ignore it.

Also, from [http://www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=SpellingAndPronunciation.25,] I 
found out that grave accent is not used commonly in Dutch anymore except in 
some borrowed French words.

If *è* is not that common in Dutch, removing grave accent on it sounds 
reasonable to me and definitely benefits search recall in general.

I would like to know if anyone had a strong opinion on this topic ? It would be 
also nice if you have some point of views as a  Dutch speaker.

Thanks !
