MIDWORD is only to tell the spell checker which characters are word
characters. It's used for locating the word, not for checking it
against the word list.

That should be the right solution. We could add something in the affix
file to say "convert this character to that character before spell
checking". Perhaps:
CONV β '
But, that's quite a bit of work to implement.
Please send me your updated spell files when it's working. I rarely get
updates for spell files.
