Recognise archaic second-person and third-person singular forms? #77

Closed Crissium closed 4 months ago

Hello! First of all I'd like to express my gratitude for all the time and effort you have invested in this project to bring high-quality morphology dictionaries to everyone.

As someone who is doing a research project involving a significant amount of archaic English, I'd love to suggest a new feature: recognises words like shouldst, hast, hath, doth, saith, sayest, runneth, standeth, taketh, knowest, believest, etc. (Actually hast, hath, doth these three already work)

I don't know much about the internal workings of Hunspell but it seems to me a trivial addition? If this could be done, I (and other people who work with archaic texts) would be very grateful. Thank you for your consideration!

Heya,

I have only added them because they don't cause false positives.

89712) shouldst + saith + sayest + runneth + standeth + taketh
              + knowest + believest
Archaic, but doesn't cause FPs
