Hi all,
I'm playing with German words, so I created a word list like this:
$ aspell --lang=de_DE dump master | head

Where can I find documentation on what the suffixes after the slash mean? The
English dictionary doesn't have those.

aalglatt/A
Aargau

No idea, tried it once but failed to understand how that works. But they
seem to not have the same meaning for every file.

I think it's called "affix compression".

Might be totally wrong, so please don't dig in to deep if you hit another
dead end.

Yep, affix compression. Some google searches got me close but I figured
that was a job for the OP.
