[jira] [Created] (CODEC-281) Double metaphone should handle 'K' for 'kc' entries instead of 'KK'

---------------------------------------

             Summary: Double metaphone should handle 'K' for 'kc' entries instead of 'KK'
                 Key: CODEC-281
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-281
             Project: Commons Codec
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.14
            Reporter: Guillas Stéphanie
             Fix For: 1.15


One example is Kir*kc*aldy: which is presently encoded as "KR*KK*".

When omitting 'k' or 'c' letters (for example, Kircaldy or Kirkaldy) it is encoded as "KRKL".

The correction consists to verify when letter 'c' follows 'k', if 'c' is encoded as 'K', it is ignored as for a succession of 'kk' letters. With this correction, Kirkcaldy would be encoded as "KRKL" which is more discriminant and compliant with the phonetic.
