When phonetic code is not used a replacement table can be used instead.
To enable the use of a replacement table add the line repl-table
lang
, in which case the replacement table is excepted to be in
the file lang_repl.dat. A complete file name can also be
specified in place of lang. For compatibility with MySpell the
replacement table can also be part of the affix file, in which case
repl-table will be lang_affix.dat".
Replacement table syntax:
REP [number_of_replacement_definitions] REP [what] [replacement] REP [what] [replacement]
For example a possible English replacement table definition to handle misspelled consonants:
REP 8 REP f ph REP ph f REP f gh REP gh f REP j dg REP dg j REP k ch REP ch k
