On the other hand, the hunspell dictionary (affix file) format allows for many more, and more subtle rules about compounding than myspell -- though it is backward- compatible. So if some bright young thing at a technical university were to sit down with the manual page for hunspell ( http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=29374&group_id=143754 ) and the current Swedish dictionary file, they could, over a period of months, produce the definitive list. But it would be a lot of work. I made a start on the en_GB dictionary, since taken over by more efficient people, and it was a large job. On the other hand, the result is much better than the standard myspell en_US dictionary, which is full of horrendous mistakes accumulated over decades of maintenance by illiterate students. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work.
