>    Affects Versions: 1.3
>         Environment: Commons-codec built from source using jdk 1.4.2.
> OS: Windows XP

> An empty string is returned from the Metaphone.metaphone(String) method when passed the value "why". Variations on the value, such as "wwwhy" and "wwhhhy" also return empty strings.
> This appears to be an issue since other implementations of the metaphone algorithm, namely the PHP version, returns "H" when passed the value "why".
