Definitions are not retrieved some common words found on whitaker's WORDS

[oldmanbaggins]

There's an unspecified percentage of words that are not found via pyWORDS but can be readily found online on Whitaker's WORDS. Here's an example:

['ille','audiit','mercurium','age','zephyros','tyria','karthagine','illum','nobis','graiumque','italiam','teucri','nulla','ipse','ascanione','ausoniam','lauinia','haec','est','esto']

Some proper nouns I understand but, nullum, nobis, ipse seem like they should show up. Is there a building of dictionary that I missed perhaps or maybe alternate dictionary?

These should definitely be found, it's been a few years since I've updated things but I can look into this some time this week and see what's going on and if I can reproduce it.

Update because it's been so long: I'm rewriting the lookup engine for PyWORDS to be more accurate. I'm also trying to add tests. Currently, the lookup still misses audiit and tyria because those use tricks (audiit = audivit, syncopated form; tyria is not found by the original WORDS but is reconstructed). I still need to implement some tricks, but my main goal with PyWORDS is to enable bulk text processing, and tricks can slow things down quite a lot. Anyway, I'm hoping to update in the next couple weeks, now that I've finally got the time.
