+REPLACEMENTS						*spell-affix-REP*
+
+In the affix file REP items can be used to define common mistakes.  This is
+used to make spelling suggestions.  The items define the "from" text and the
+"to" replacement.  Example:
+
+	REP 4 ~
+	REP f ph ~
+	REP ph f ~
+	REP k ch ~
+	REP ch k ~
+
+The first line specifies the number of REP lines following.  Vim ignores it.

+SIMILAR CHARACTERS					*spell-affix-MAP*
+
+In the affix file MAP items can be used to define letters that very much
+alike.  This is mostly used for a letter with different accents.  This is used
+to prefer suggestions with these letters substituted.  Example:
+
+	MAP 2 ~
+	MAP e<><65><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> ~
+	MAP u<><75><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> ~

+The first line specifies the number of MAP lines following.  Vim ignores it.

+SOUNDS-A-LIKE						*spell-affix-SAL*
+
+In the affix file SAL items can be used to define the sounds-a-like mechanism
