### 7.5 Replacement Tables

When phonetic code is not used a replacement table can be used instead. To enable the use of a replacement table add the line `repl-table` lang, in which case the replacement table is excepted to be in the file `lang_repl.dat`. A complete file name can also be specified in place of lang. For compatibility with MySpell the replacement table can also be part of the affix file, in which case `repl-table` will be `lang_affix.dat"`.

Replacement table syntax:

         REP [number_of_replacement_definitions]
         REP [what] [replacement]
         REP [what] [replacement]

For example a possible English replacement table definition to handle misspelled consonants:

         REP 8
         REP f ph
         REP ph f
         REP f gh
         REP gh f
         REP j dg
         REP dg j
         REP k ch
         REP ch k
