The persian lookup has problems with plurals

balmas commented 4 years ago

@MatthewThomasMiller can you provide a few examples?

MatthewThomasMiller commented 4 years ago

what would be the best way to provide examples? screenshots? or something else?

Could you supply the text of a couple of words that aren't parsing properly and what you think the correct results should be? If you have the URL of the page you are testing on that would also be helpful. Thank you!!

Sometimes Persian plural are identified correctly if they appear in the dictionary, but not all do. My impressionistic sense, from just trying a few examples, is that often Arabic plurals (in Persian) appear in the dictionary, but nouns with the standard Persian plural suffixes (-ha, -an) do not.

Example of Arabic Plural that is identified correctly: عشاق (source: https://ganjoor.net/hafez/ghazal/sh15/) Example of a plural that isn't identified as plural noun: کافران (source: https://ganjoor.net/hafez/ghazal/sh435/) See also example in ZWNJ thread.
