Common tasks involving orthographic words include spellchecking, stemming, morphological analysis, and morphological synthesis. To enable significant reuse of the language-specific resources across all such tasks, we have extended the functionality of the open source spellchecker MySpell, yielding a generic word analysis library, the runtime layer of the hunmorph toolkit. We added an offline resource management component, hunlex, which complements the efficiency of our runtime layer with a high-level description language and a configurable precompiler.
