This file is a summary of the switches used in the en_GB affix file.
A description of the affix file format is appended to the end of this
In addition to the new suffix and prefix rules a modified TRY list is
used in order to properly find spelling errors in words having . (period)
' (apostrophe) and - (hyphen) within them. A replacement list for common
mis-spellings has also been incorporated.
The en_GB.aff affix file was created from scratch by David Bartlett and
Andrew Brown.

What follows is cut and pasted from the instructions at
http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/lingucomponent/affix.readme
The first line has 4 fields:
Field
-----
1 SFX - indicates this is a suffix
2 D - is the name of the character which represents this suffix
3 Y - indicates it can be combined with prefixes (cross product)
4 4 - indicates that sequence of 4 affix entries are needed to
properly store the affix information
The remaining lines describe the unique information for the 4 affix
entries that make up this affix. Each line can be interpreted
as follows: (note fields 1 and 2 are used as a check against line 1 info)
Field
-----
1 SFX - indicates this is a suffix
2 D - is the name of the character which represents this affix
3 y - the string of chars to strip off before adding affix
(a 0 here indicates the NULL string)
4 ied - the string of affix characters to add
(a 0 here indicates the NULL string)
5 [^aeiou]y - the conditions which must be met before the affix
can be applied
Field 5 is interesting. Since this is a suffix, field 5 tells us that
there are 2 conditions that must be met. The first condition is that
the next to the last character in the word must *NOT* be any of the
following "a", "e", "i", "o" or "u". The second condition is that
the last character of the word must end in "y".
