A very interesting thing occurred in the Komi spell-checker results. First, the fact that we are now able to recognized word forms with upper-casing of the initial letter has brought a great improvement to catching short-comings of our description. Thank you!

Why does the Komi word "черинянь" '(bread with fish baked in it)' get accepted by ukom but not the speller?

The form "черинянь" is given in the database gtsvn/kt/kom/src/working_files/N_kom-lex.xml it shows up again after make lexfiles: kom-lex-xmlsrc.txt:черинянь Noun1 "" ;

and after make it can be analyzed by ukom

src jackrueter$ ukom

черинянь черинянь черинянь+N+Sg+Nom

But make -f Makefile.hfst does not produce a spell checker that accepts it?

It seems that this same problem is to be found in abbreviations: There are two sources for abbreviations:

(1) gtsvn/kt/kom/src/working_files/ABBR_kom-lex.xml

с.в. (сідз водзӧ 'etc.') лб. (листбок 'page')

Both are accepted by ukom but neither is accepted by the speller.

(2) gtsvn/kt/kom/src/abbr-kom-lex.txt

gtsvn/kt/kom/src/acro-kom-lex.txt

БОСЬТӦС (no such word exists)

In ukom this form is not accepted because it is more than 5 letters long. The speller, however, seems to accept any length of acronym candidates provided they are all upper-case.

Hence the speller accepts non-existent words if they are upper-case, but it does not accept the lower-case abbreviations in the database.

I will look into this when time permits. Things are changing all the time when it comes to HFST and related technologies. This bug might solve itself over time.

This is no longer a problem.
