Dear Frank,

I presume you mean some thing that checks your spelling, not spells for
witches.

The problem with this is that one would need to note all the various changes
for sandhi in compounds (vowels, doubling of consonants etc) -- which are
very long, made up of many words, and one might need to include all of
these. Then there is also the more basic problem of the vibhaktis (the
noun/adj and verbs endings). To create such a spelling checker, I think one
perhaps would first need to lemmatize the entire Pali canon ~ which is
do-able. Similar lemmatized data-bases exist for large Sanskrit texts such
as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana.

Best wishes,
Stephen Hodge
