Vladimir,
I am not sure that I fully understand you, but I think the point you
are making is that the porter stemmer stems
enterprise to enterpris
and it stems
enterpris to enterpri
and it seems odd that it does not stem enterprise to enterpri. But
this is correct. It is a mistake to put the result of the stemming
process back through the stemmer as a second step. Ignore the fact
that the result of stemming is a string that would be further reduced
in length by stemming it a second time. Does that answer your
question?
Martin
