Sounds like a workable solution, thanks.

It is not a perfect solution by any means, however it does seem to accomplish 
the goal better then the current solution which does not work at all. BTW if 
you do know of any documentation about morphological analyzer especially with 
focus on multibyte languages I would be grateful if you could share that 
information.

Thanks,
