I have a couple of questions about the Finnish stemming algorithm.  In your 
documention, you state that in step 4 to look for the suffixes in R1; 
however, in the Snowball implementation it looks for the suffixes (e.g., 
"mpi") in R2.  Which is correct?

Also, in the Snowball implementation step 3 will delete the endings "ta" and 
"tä"; however, the documentation does not mention these ending.  Is it 
correct to delete these endings?  Did the documentation just forget to 
mention this?

Thanks,
Blake Madden
