First: Thank you so much for investing your time in this project! Wuggy has helped me A LOT while I was designing the stimuli for my phd thesis.
To my question:
I used wuggy to check similarities between one of my nonce words and possible other words, and the Orthographic Levenshtein-Distance dropped below 1 in some cases. As far as I understand the concept, this shouldn't be possible, as it takes at least one step to change a word into another or zero steps if there's a word with the exact same form in the wuggy lexicon. Why do I get OLDs below 1, then?
Example:
Nonce Word: Faus
Real Word: Baus
OLD20: 0,95
Note: I'm not using the new python environment, but the old version of wuggy. Thank you very much in advance!
