few AFF lines from the OOo spell-checking package.

frequency value based on info received from Kevin Patrick Scannell

package. Now uses 'munch' the full list of nb and nn words to
generate the dictionary files and 'ispellaff2myspell' from the

convert the affix file to myspell format.

available.

nb word database. being compiled on <URL:http://no.speling.org/>.
