I'm not sure it's possible with the spelling software Vim uses, since 
this is not a pure "vocabulary" word ("this word does / doesn't belong 
to the language") but a "grammar" rule ("this valid word is / isn't 
permitted in this context"):

het huis                OK              (the house)
de huis                 not OK
het grote huis          OK              (the big house)
het groot huis          not OK
welk huis?              OK              (which house?)
welke huis?             not Ok
welk groot huis?        OK              (which big house?)
welk grote huis?        not OK
de weg                  OK              (the way)
het weg                 not OK
de lange weg            OK              (the long way)
de lang weg             not OK
welke weg?              OK              (which way?)
welk weg?               not OK
welke lange weg?        OK              (which long way?)
welke lang weg?         not OK

ik wil                  OK              (I want)
je wil                  not OK
je wilt                 OK              (you [sg.] want)
wilt je?                not OK
wil je?                 OK              (do you want?)
wij wil                 not OK
wij willen              OK              (we want)

etc.

I may be wrong though, spelling software is not my forte. Maybe Dr. Chip 
will know the details better.


Best regards,
Tony.
