[OT] It's either that or kenny-stemmer....

(porter-stemmer "securing")
-> "secur"

Ewwww. I want "secure".

Time for kenny-stemmer, or does someone know of a sensible normalizer of
word variants?

(assert (equal (porter-stemmer "securing") (porter-stemmer "secure")))

Stems aren't meant to be real words...

You are looking for morphological analysis of NL. Google for this and
you will get many many hits (including those with a Lisp connection).
I had a good version of one of these (a two level version based on
KIMMO, I think...), but it's on (I hope) another machine that I'm not
running at the moment.

Sorry, I was too terse, and I guess your AI was not able to get past
that. Forunately Jon's engine chewed right through it.

I have a really elegant implementation of this, unfortunately my
signature is too narrow to hold it.

Yeah, maybe the kooks in sci.math will even start offering "proven" 10
line versions of it...
