Add Accents to the verbs

Right now there are no accents to the spanish words. For the array of french words they exist.

Hey there! This is not completely true, as abajeña for example is included in the first slice of the file.

We could switch back to the old wordlist, but then we’d loose many words (such as abajeña).

Maybe we could merge the two sets, favoring the variants that include accents?

How would that favoring work? 🤔

If you encounter jalapeno and jalapeño, favor jalapeño?

That does assume that if there is a version of a word without accents, then it’s not a valid word. I’m not sure that’s always the case (maybe in Spanish it is though, but the French list includes both abjuré and abjure).

There is for example si and sí. Or hablo and habló. I found a list of 12000 infinitives and a lib to return all declinations of a spanish verb with correct accents. So you could add that list of declinations to the old word list.
