I think these are grammar annotations. The problem is that they could
be mistakes. I think we need to add a flag that tells the parser that
the fifth item is to be ignored. We could edit the file and put the
changes in the diff, but that means the diff gets outdated very quickly.

I'm doing this on Ubuntu. The locale handling is a bit complicated and
iconv is quite strict. I hope someone can make it work on Ubuntu
without errors. The errors might be harmless, but they will cause other
errors to go unnoticed.

Generally, I would really appreciate it when someone takes upon him the
task to update the spell files. Once you get the hang of it when doing
one language, it should get easier for others.
