[jira] [Created] (CODEC-199) Bug in HW rule in Soundex

Yossi Tamari created CODEC-199:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Bug in HW rule in Soundex
                 Key: CODEC-199
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-199
             Project: Commons Codec
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.10
            Reporter: Yossi Tamari


The Soundex algorithm says that if two characters that map to the same code are separated by H or W, the second one is not encoded.
However, in the implementation (in Soundex.getMappingCode() line 191), a character that is preceded by two characters that are either H or W, is not encoded, regardless of what the last consonant was.
