[Snowball-discuss] frenchStemmer with words ending in ous and oux

[Claude Quézel]

In the french stemmer (version 3.3 of Lucene), I just noticed that the
stemming of words like "écrous" and its singular form "écrou" do not yield
the same stemmed version.

I would expect that stemming most words ending in "ous" and "oux" to "ou"
would be a good solution

Words ending in OUX:

alquifoux bijoux cailloux choux courroux doux epoux extradoux genoux hiboux
houx jaloux joujoux poux redoux ripoux roux saindoux sioux toux tripoux

Words ending in OUS:

absous acajous ainous amadous andalous anjous autodissous bagayous bagous
