Morphing
Morphing is the concept of transforming a stem word into the variations/inflections of the stem word.
The WeCantSpell.Hunspell package doesn't support morphing - this is something we're adding on top of the WeCantSpell.Hunspell in this package.
Unfortunately, our implementation has currently only been confirmed working with the Danish dictionary files provided by Stavekontrolden.

The Morph methods needs an instance of HunspellStemResult from a successful stem operation - eg. as shown in the example below where we're finding the stem words of the Danish cykel:
@using System.Web.Hosting
@using Skybrud.TextAnalysis.Hunspell
@using Skybrud.TextAnalysis.Hunspell.Stem
@{
// Map the path to the dictionary and affix files
string dic = HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/App_Data/Hunspell/da-DK.dic");
string aff = HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/App_Data/Hunspell/da-DK.aff");
// Load a new text analyzer (Hunspell wrapper)
HunspellTextAnalyzer analyzer = HunspellTextAnalyzer.CreateFromFiles(dic, aff);
// Get the stem words of "cykel" (underlying package only ever returns one stem)
HunspellStemResult[] stems = analyzer.Stem("cykel");
// Iterate through the stems
foreach (HunspellStemResult stem in stems) {
<h3>@stem.Value</h3>
// Get the inflections of "stem" (through morphing)
string[] inflections = analyzer.Morph(stem);
// Iterate through the inflections
foreach (string inflection in inflections) {
<pre>@inflection</pre>
}
}
}
Morphing the word cykel returns the following inflections (including the word itself):
- cykel
- cykler
- cyklers
- cyklerne
- cyklernes
- cyklen
- cyklens
- cykels
