Zero?

Closed this issue · 2 comments

When passing the name Mokshith, I get this as my output:

{ primary: 'MKX0', alternate: 'MKXT' }

The last character in Primary is a zero. I'm just wanting to verify that this is an accurate result, as I'm not sure what the number 0 has to do with metaphone?

Thanks for giving feedback!

Most probably the zero should mean the "th".
At least the Apache Jakarta Commons Java implementation produces a 0 as well.

Yea, after doing some googling on it, I realized it has to do with emphasis.
