Appendix: Understanding Affix Code
An affix is either a prefix or a suffix attached to root words to make
other words.
Basically a Prefix or a Suffix is set of AffEntry objects
which store information about the prefix or suffix along
with supporting routines to check if a word has a particular
prefix or suffix or a combination.
The structure affentry is defined as follows:
struct affentry
{
unsigned short aflag; // ID used to represent the affix
char * strip; // string to strip before adding affix
char * appnd; // the affix string to add
unsigned char stripl; // length of the strip string
unsigned char appndl; // length of the affix string
char numconds; // the number of conditions that must be met
char opts; // flag: aeXPRODUCT- combine both prefix and suffix
char conds[SETSIZE]; // array which encodes the conditions to be met
};
Here is a suffix borrowed from the en_US.aff file. This file
is whitespace delimited.
SFX D Y 4
SFX D 0 e d
SFX D y ied [^aeiou]y
SFX D 0 ed [^ey]
SFX D 0 ed [aeiou]y
This information can be interpreted as follows:
In the first line has 4 fields
Field
-----
1 SFX - indicates this is a suffix
2 D - is the name of the character flag which represents this suffix
3 Y - indicates it can be combined with prefixes (cross product)
4 4 - indicates that sequence of 4 affentry structures are needed to
properly store the affix information
The remaining lines describe the unique information for the 4 SfxEntry
objects that make up this affix. Each line can be interpreted
as follows: (note fields 1 and 2 are as a check against line 1 info)
Field
-----
1 SFX - indicates this is a suffix
2 D - is the name of the character flag for 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
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".
So how can we encode this information concisely and be able to
test for both conditions in a fast manner? The answer is found
but studying the wonderful ispell code of Geoff Kuenning, et.al.
(now available under a normal BSD license).
If we set up a conds array of 256 bytes indexed (0 to 255) and access it
using a character (cast to an unsigned char) of a string, we have 8 bits
of information we can store about that character. Specifically we
could use each bit to say if that character is allowed in any of the
last (or first for prefixes) 8 characters of the word.
Basically, each character at one end of the word (up to the number
of conditions) is used to index into the conds array and the resulting
value found there says whether the that character is valid for a
specific character position in the word.
For prefixes, it does this by setting bit 0 if that char is valid
in the first position, bit 1 if valid in the second position, and so on.
If a bit is not set, then that char is not valid for that postion in the
word.
If working with suffixes bit 0 is used for the character closest
to the front, bit 1 for the next character towards the end, ...,
with bit numconds-1 representing the last char at the end of the string.
Note: since entries in the conds[] are 8 bits, only 8 conditions
(read that only 8 character positions) can be examined at one
end of a word (the beginning for prefixes and the end for suffixes.
So to make this clearer, lets encode the conds array values for the
first two affentries for the suffix D described earlier.
For the first affentry:
numconds = 1 (only examine the last character)
conds['e'] = (1 << 0) (the word must end in an E)
all others are all 0
For the second affentry:
numconds = 2 (only examine the last two characters)
conds[X] = conds[X] | (1 << 0) (aeiou are not allowed)
where X is all characters *but* a, e, i, o, or u
conds['y'] = (1 << 1) (the last char must be a y)
all other bits for all other entries in the conds array are zero
