# Version:

# Reference:
#	Development of a Spelling List
#	M. Douglas McIlroy
#	IEEE Transactions on Communications
#	Vol COM-30, No 1, January 1982, p 91.
#
#	Appendix A lists 54 rules for determining the stem of a word.
#
# Algorithm:
#	1. Is the word in the irregular verb list (Verbs.txt)?
#		If yes, return the infinitive.
#		If no, go to 2.
#	2. Apply McIlroy's rules.
#		Some rules return 2 possibilities, some 1, some none (by default).
#		If none, apply the 'next' rule, reading down the list below.
