[Snowball-discuss] german_stemmer -isse

[Martin Porter]

Wolfgang,

Okay, I will set some time aside, I hope in November, and look into this. I
think from your examples and my scanning of the vocabulary that -isse might
benefit from special treatment.

I will keep you informed of progress,

Martin
