You will not be increasing the frequency of the accented terms. Those 
frequencies will stay the same. You’ll be adding new unaccented terms. The new 
terms will probably have higher frequencies than the accented terms. If so, the 
accented terms should be preferred for accented queries. You might or might not 
want that behavior.

doc1: glück
doc1 terms: glück, gluck, glueck

doc2: glueck
doc2 terms: glueck

df for glück: 1
df for gluck: 1
df for glueck: 2

The df for the term “glück” is the same whether you expand or not.
