I haven't committed the stopword list yet. > Thank you Peter, Here is the repo with the stop-words: https://github.com/pmav99/greek_stopwords The list is based on an earlier publication with modification by me. All the relevant info is on github. Disclaimer 1: The list has not been validated by an expert. Disclaimer 2: There are more stop-words lists on the internet, but they are less complete and they also use ancient greek words. Furthermore, my testing showed that snowball needs to handle accents (tonous) and ς (teliko sigma) in a special way if you want the stemmer to work with capitalized words too. https://github.com/Xangis/extra-stopwords/blob/master/greek https://github.com/stopwords-iso/stopwords-el/tree/master/raw all the best, Panagiotis
