[pt] multiwords.txt adding new words — 2024-03-24

[marcoagpinto]

Heya, @p-goulart @susanaboatto @maphjo @danielnaber

May I add words to multiwords.txt before the release date around the end of the month?

There are several nouns and proper names that appear as typos or as separate words in my thesis.

Also, what is the difference in the postags of adding an _ (underscore) after it or not adding one, in that file?

Thanks!

Heya,

Here is the list of words I wanted to add.

The list was larger, but some words already had morphological information.

However, it is strange that some appear as typos or as separate words, for example:

Helmuth von Moltke
John von Neumann

With the latest nightly and LibreOffice, “von” appears as a typo, and so does “Helmuth”.

Notice that the words may be too technical, but I would love to hear your feedback:

NOUNS:
desvio padrão
nevoeiro de guerra
tactical military shooter
tactical military shooters


PROPER NAMES:
Biologia Evolucionária
Convenções de Genebra
Entropia de Carvalho Rodrigues
Entropia de Carvalho-Rodrigues
Exército Republicano Irlandês
Lei dos Grandes Números
Métrica da Soma dos Quadrados
Métrica do Espaço-Tempo
Pirâmide Cognitiva
Projeto Echelon
República Francesa
Revolução Francesa
Teatro de Operações
Teorema do Macaco Infinito
Teoria da Confirmação
Teoria do Caos
Teoria dos Sistemas Complexos
Tio Patinhas
União Soviética



ORGANIZATIONS
Crescente Vermelho
Máfia Italiana
Tríade Chinesa

I would add the proper names to spelling-global.txt, rather than the PT-specific multiwords.

As for everything else, there should be no issue with adding anything to multiwords.txt, feel free to make a PR!

Also, what is the difference in the postags of adding an _ (underscore) after it or not adding one, in that file?

This is there to prevent certain matches in the XML rules. Occasionally, especially with the multi-token prepositional phrases, it is important to make the distinction. (That is my understanding, at least, based on what I've seen... it was done before my time here started.)
