Hello,

I am fairly new to Snowball and to this list, so please excuse me for my ignorance in advance.

I am planning to use the Spanish stemming algorithm and I would like to point out some words in the Spanish stop word list which I think may be wrong.

line 123: vosostros     | correct word would be 'vosotros' (you male plural)
line 124: vosostras     | correct word would be 'vosotras' (you female plural)
        | the following words are from verb sentir (to feel) and not from verb ser (to be)
line 294: sintiendo     | correct word would be 'siendo'
line 295: sentido               | correct word would be 'sido' (same word for male/female/singular/plural)
line 296: sentida               | correct word would be 'sido' (same word for male/female/singular/plural)
line 297: sentidos      | correct word would be 'sido' (same word for male/female/singular/plural)
line 298: sentidas      | correct word would be 'sido' (same word for male/female/singular/plural)
line 299: siente                | correct word would be 'es'
line 300: sentid                | correct word would be 'sed' (the same word than in thirst)

I fixed the words in my file, but I think it would be useful to everyone to fix the original file too.

Which would be the right procedure to do that?

Thank you.
