Hspell.linginfo() return an empty list if the given word can only be parsed as having a prefix.

Title pretty much says it all.

how it works in the shell (hspell 1.2 and 1.3):

$ hsp -l <<< כעב
צירוף חוקי: כ+עב
	עב(ע,ז,יחיד)
	עב(ע,ז,יחיד,סמיכות)

(hsp is my wrapper script that converts between the system locale and ISO-8859-8)

how it works in Python (3.6):

>>> from HspellPy import Hspell
>>> hs = Hspell(linguistics=True)
>>> hs.linginfo('כעב')
[]

Thanks for this lib, by the way. It's very useful for a project I'm working on. I was going to send a patch, but then I discovered this stuff is all C and I don't have a clue about that. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

(P.S. the current behavior is actually very convenient for my project, since I'm testing exactly whether the form exists by itself or it's a prefix, but I figured you'd like to know)

Thank you for the comment.

1. You should use hs.enum_splits to get the baseword, which can be used for linginfo.
2. However, I find it convenient to include this functionality into linginfo - so I added a new parameter split_prefix.

The code and the package were updated

Thanks! will do! (The current behavior is actually perfect for what I'm doing)

I don't know how I missed .enum_splits() in the readme. Must have totally glossed over it.
