NAME
    Text::German - German grundform reduction

SYNOPSYS
    "use Text::German;"

    "$stem = Text::German::reduce($word)"

DESCRIPTION
    This is a rather incomplete implementaion of work done by Gudrun Putze-Meier. I have to confess
    that I never read her original paper. So all credit belongs to her, all bugs are mine. I tried
    to get some insight from an implementation of two students of mine. They remain anonymous
    because their work was the wost piece of code I ever saw. My code behaves mostly as their
    implementation did except it is about 75 times faster.
