These symptoms are ispell problems and have nothing to do with the affixfile
(I think). If it doesn't know Eindhoven it tries to make it from two known
words. The main annoying problem with nispell is the dutch language itself
where compositions of words are written as one word which needs to be stored
separately in the word list.

I have an extended affixfile with enhancements by Rob Hooft, but it is still
not ready for release :-( It only reduces the hashed dictionary.
