When phonetic code is not used a replacement table can be used instead. 
To enable the use of a replacement table add the line 
repl-table
lang, in which case the replacement table is excepted to be in
the file 
lang_repl.dat.  A complete file name can also be
specified in place of 
lang.  For compatibility with MySpell the
replacement table can also be part of the affix file, in which case
repl-table will be lang_affix.dat".
   
Replacement table syntax:
     REP [number_of_replacement_definitions]
     REP [what] [replacement]
     REP [what] [replacement]
   
For example a possible English replacement table definition
to handle misspelled consonants:
     REP 8
     REP f ph
     REP ph f
     REP f gh
     REP gh f
     REP j dg
     REP dg j
     REP k ch
     REP ch k
