+ // We perform the stemming on the Devanagari characters rather than

+ // reflect this by converting suffixes back to Devanagari as
+ // follows:
+ //
+ // * within the suffixes, "a" after a consonant is dropped since
+ // consonants have an implicit "a".
+ //
+ // * within the suffixes, a vowel other than "a" after a consonant
+ // is a dependent vowel (vowel sign); a vowel (including "a")
+ // after a non-consonant is an independent vowel.
+ //
+ // * to allow the vowel at the start of each suffix being dependent
+ // or independent, we include each suffix twice. For the
+ // dependent version, a leading "a" is dropped and we check that
+ // the suffix is preceded by a consonant (which will have an
+ // implicit "a").
+ //
+ // * we add '{a}', which is needed for the example given right at
+ // the end of section 5 to work (conflating BarawIya and
+ // BarawIyawA), and which 3.1 a.v strongly suggests should be in
+ // the list:
+ //
+ // Thus, the following suffix deletions (longest possible
+ // match) are required to reduce inflected forms of masculine
+ // nouns to a common stem:
+ // a A i [...]
+ //
+ // Adding '{a}' only affect 2 words out of the 65,140 in the
+ // sample vocabulary.
+ //
+ // * The transliterations of our stems would end with "a" when our
+ // stems end in a consonant, so we also include {virama} in the
+ // list of suffixes to remove (this affects 222 words from the
+ // sample vocabulary).
+ //
+ // We've also assumed that Mh in the suffix list always means {Mh}
+ // and never {M}{h}{virama}. Only one of the 65,140 words in the
+ // sample vocabulary stems differently due to this (and that word
+ // seems to be a typo).
