Lots of basic words missing from dictionary

Hello,

My end goal is to do Norwegian spell checking within emacs.  Emacs on
my linux distribution (centos7) is using hunspell.  I got that
working, but it turns out there are several basic words that are
missing from the dictionary.

For example, this command line example shows the issue:
-----------------------------
$ hunspell -d nb_NO
Hunspell 1.3.2
og
& og 10 0: org, tog, log, dog, bog, os, or, ok, om, Ogna

mitt
& mitt 15 0: nitt, mutt, mott, mit, smitt, mett, mint, mist, sitt,
ritt, titt, matt, milt, litt, kitt

min
*
-----------------------------

This is showing that 'og' and 'mitt' were not in the dictionary, but
'min' was.

Sure enough, they are missing from 'nb_NO.dic'.  I noticed that the
previous version (2.0.10) of the dictionary was 4.9 MB, where as the
2.1 version is only 3.9 MB.

Comparing the two files with diffstat:

diff -u 2.0/nb_NO.dic 2.1/nb_NO.dic | diffstat
 nb_NO.dic |77164
 +++-----------------------------------------------------------
 1 file changed, 4500 insertions(+), 72664 deletions(-)

there are a LOT of removed words.

Redhat linux has had this bug report for some time about the new
version missing a lot of words:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055112

Has this issue has been noticed before?  Any plans to release an
update?

Thanks,

Wade
