Affixed forms search

Forms not found in dictionary may be submitted to an affix analysis to devise whether they are derived forms. The valid affixes and their application contexts are defined in the affix rule file referred by AffixFile configuration option. See section 3.7.2 for details on affixation rules format.

If your language has ortographic accentuation (such as Spanish, Catalan, and many other roman languages), the suffixation rules may have to deal with accent restoration when rebuilding the original roots. To do this, you have to to program a accents_mylanguage class derived from abstract class accents_module, which provides the service of restoring (according to the accentuation rules in your languages) accentuation in a root obtained after removing a given suffix.

A good idea to start with this issue is having a look at the accents_es class.
