Thanks for your response and clarification.  I read this in hunspell's man page

    −d en_US,en_geo,en_med,de_DE,de_med

and just adapted it.  Obviously, I've been abusing that feature for a long
time now, but it worked quite well ;-)

Will do so.

While we're at it: I never managed to get the `OTHERCHARS' feature work with
hunspell.  I.e.,

This is very useful when writing German text with LaTeX.  Any idea?

Thanks!  Best, Arash
