Chinese word list (segmentation) ================================ `words.txt.gz` is not a spelling dictionary — Chinese has no spelling to check in the Hunspell sense. It is the word list Petal's segmenter walks, so that a sentence written without spaces has words in it to hover, look up and capture. Each line is `word frequency`. See scripts/build_cedict.py for how it is built and why it is gated where it is. It is derived from two upstream sources, both redistributable, both credited here because the file itself has no room for a header.
