lowercase infinitive not working in german

I have absolutely no idea how the .dic format works, all I can say is that practically any infinitve german word is marked as misspelt when using this in retext-spell.

For example, “markieren” is a normal word and has several entries in the dictionary, but somehow just “markieren” doesn’t work, while “Markieren”, “markierend”, “markierens” or even “-markieren” work. What is the issue here?

“würde” is another case, even though that isn’t an infinitive. “würde” is a verb, meaning “would”, “Würde” (which works), meaning “dignity”, is a substantive. It seems like every infinitive verb you could also write in uppercase (so basically any german verb) is not allowed when written in lowercase.

Thanks, transferred to nspell.

I don‘t have time/priority to work on nspell currently, so unfortunately this will take a while.

If you’re fine with native dependencies, nodehun might be a good alternative for spell checking in Node!

Any updates on this?
