This package provides spelling dictionaries for Church Slavonic for Hunspell.

Quick Start

Copy the cu.aff and cu.dic files into the Hunspell directory (probably /usr/share/hunspell/). You can find the directory by running hunspell -D.

Extensions also exist for LibreOffice and other software, which are based on this package; see, for example:

Issues

At present, this is a poorman's spell checker:

  • Unicode Normalization (UAX #15) and case folding are not natively supported by Hunspell. As a workaround, the dictionary includes all words in both NFC and NFD forms, as well as uppercase forms of certain words. (This negatively impacts memory usage).

  • Only numerals between а҃ (1) and ҂ѳцч҃ѳ (9999) will be recognized. Other numerals may be treated as misspelled.

  • The dictionary does not provide any morphology.

Morphological analysis for Church Slavonic is hard to do. Since we presently don't have the resources to write morphology into the dictionary, the spell checker will only check the words present in the dictionary. In other words, if the dictionary contains:

кни́га
кни́гꙋ
кни́зи

The spell checker will recognize these words, but it will treat кни́зѣ, кни́гами and кни́жный as misspelled.
