The case why this test was introduced is that stems like "-bar" and "foo-" are to be passed with the hyphen to the spellchecker in cases such as (German) "trink- und essbar" and "Feuerwhermänner und -frauen" (I don't have a good English example right now). This means dashes are part of a word if there is "stuff" on their right _or_ their left and if this stuff is no further dash. Jürgen
