Method Detail

cond

public boolean cond(java.lang.String word,
                    java.lang.Integer[] endp)

Some of the rewrite rules apply only to a root containing a vowel, where a vowel is one of "aeiou" or y with a consonant in front of it. Obviously, under the definition of a vowel, a word contains a vowel iff either its first letter is one of "aeiou", or any of its other letters are "aeiouy". The plan is to test this condition.

Specified by:

cond in interface StemCond

Parameters:

word - word to be tested

endp - dummy int array reference to satisfy interface

Returns:

true if the word parameter contains a vowel, false otherwise
