[Snowball-discuss] porter2 question

I just finished implementing the porter stemmer in PHP, then discovered
porter2. So, I'm upgrading. :-)

On step 2, though, you have added ' bli --> ble ' as well as 'li
preceded by 'b' --> remove li '

so, for words ending in 'bli' which is more correct? removing the li or
change the i to e?

I know you say to take the longest first, but is that the intended
action on 'bli' vs. 'li' preceded by a b?

 

thanks,

 

wendy
