Thank you, Heiko. I did find that setting for the .dic files, but I also wanted
to know about custom .aff files. 

In many Linux distros these will be under /usr/share/hunspell

They are the files that give permissible inflection types. They allow you to
say that if "dog" is a correctly-spelled word, so is "dogs" and "dog's" and
"dogs'". And if "Wort" is a word, so is "Wörter", and if "gehen" is a word, so
are "gehe", "gehst", "gegangen", and so on. The man page for hunspell describes
this in some detail (https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/4-hunspell/).

The custom dicts seem to use a different way of indicating inflections from the
default hunspell dicts (by analogy to other words, not by categories). This
means that if my custom words do not inflect just like an existing English
word, I have to add every inflected form individually to the custom
dictionaries.

So my question is, how do I add custom inflection patterns?
