[Xapian-devel] Odd stemmer behavior

I've noticed some strange results from the stemmer in the Ruby port:

irb(main):003:0> @stem.stem_word("anybody")
=> "anybodi"
irb(main):004:0> @stem.stem_word("swimmingly")
=> "swim"
irb(main):005:0> @stem.stem_word("fiercely")
=> "fierc"
irb(main):006:0> @stem.stem_word("fraudulently")
=> "fraudul"

Is it supposed to behave like this, or is this a bug in my Ruby wrapper?

Best,
Paul
