Electronic dictionary system having improved memory efficiency for storage of common suffix words

摘要

A system for checking a spelling of an English word which stores a plurality of English words in several groups. Every word in each group can have a common suffix and is stored without the suffix. The system searches whether or not an input word exists in the dictionary memory and judges next whether or not an input word has one of the suffixes by which the words in the dictionary memory are classified. If the input word has one of the suffixes, the system searches a de-suffixed form of the input word within the group corresponding to the suffix. The search result and input words are displayed on a cathode ray tube.
