NAME
     english - flag format for English okspell dictionaries

DESCRIPTION
     English dictionaries for okspell(1) supports 3 prefix and 14
     suffix  flags.   For  a  detailed description of how okspell
     handles flags  and  capitalization,  see  okspell(4).   This
     manual  page  only  describes  flags  usable in dictionaries
     built using the english.aff affix file.

     In the following discussion of the flags, let  #  and  @  be
     "variables"  that  can  stand  for  any  letter.  Upper case
     letters are constants.  "..." stands for any string of  zero
     or more letters, but note that no word may exist in the dic-
     tionary which is not at least 2 letters long, so, for  exam-
     ple,  "fly"  may  not be produced by placing the "Y" flag on
     "f".  Also, no flag is effective unless  the  word  that  it
     creates  is  at least 4 letters long, so, for example, "wed"
     may not be produced by placing the "D" flag on "we".

     In the following list, an asterisk  indicates  that  a  flag
     participates in cross-product formation (see okspell(4)).
