[jsword-devel] Hamza - was strongs search

But it is of varying criticality in the various languages.

In German an umlaut is so much part of the language that no one would
ever even consider searching without umlaut.

In Farsi due to years of bad computer/software localisation people and
also varying forms of orthography (the hamza can be replaced by a single
"yeh" or by an alef + yeh sequence, depending which school of thought
you subscribe to) all kinds of fomrs abound.

Osis2mod does not seem to do this for Farsi - all modules where created
and recreated at the same time.
