Stemming of "detail" and "retail" reduces to "tail"

I am using hunspell version 2.9 and I get the following output from hunspell_stem:

hunspell::hunspell_stem("details")
returns
[[1]] [1] "tail"
I get the same output with "retail". In my opinion detail and retail should not get reduced (stemmed) to "tail".

Thank you for the report. It is better to report behavioural problems in the upstream libhunspell repository. The current repository only implements the R bindings, not the stemming algorithm.

Thanks @jeroen. Will check if that is already mentioned there or raise a new issue otherwise

Closing because nothing I can do about this.
