[Snowball-discuss] West Iberian queries

Hi,

I am quite interested in Snowball and its applications, and have been 
playing around with it lately. However, I've noticed there is currently 
no Galician algorithm and have found no reference to it being worked on. 
If that is indeed the case, I'd like to contribute to its development. 
It may take a while as I am fairly new to this, but I'm aware of the 
contributing advice file and instructions on the Github and website, so 
I think for now I should be set. Please do let me know if there is 
anything else I should be aware of.

Also, I was wondering why second person verb-attached pronouns are 
completely ignored in Spanish, ie. _saludarte_ incorrectly renders 
_saludart_, when it should be _salud_ as when you input _saludarme_. 
Similarly, -selo/a(s) is accounted for but not in the first or second 
persons ('melo' 'mela' 'melos' 'melas' 'telo' 'tela' 'telos' 'telas'). 
Is this due to their rarity? I would be surprised, but please let me 
know if that is the case.

Kind regards,

Victor
