What is the path of the private dictionary of ispell used by emacs? > > Presumingly ~/.ispell_. Not , but . If the dictionary is `americanmed.hash', the personal dictionary for it will be `.ispell_americanmed'. The dictionary in use is the one specified by the -d option from the shell command line, or by ispell-dictionary variable or ispell-change-dictionary command from within Emacs. The name of the default dictionary is displayed by ispell -vv | fgrep DEFHASH Also, the .ispell_ file is searched for both in the current directory and in home directory (creating one in the latter if none exists). See the Ispell man page for all this info.
