Oops I have not finished the list, but it might be larger than I
thought, 4 Megas maybe. Regexp-opt can deal with that?
There’s nothing to prevent it. It’ll be slow, but it only has to run the
first time.

And that should be faster as a hashtable?
A little slower--not much, though, the main overhead is from the Emacs Lisp
funcall, and the relevant databases are actively developed, I’m sure their
performance is acceptable.
Since modern hebrew is written without niqqud, there are difference
in
spelling in order to avoid such uncertainties
So for example if in haaretz, say David Kastrup is mentioned, his name
would be written (using logical hebrew here)
דויד.
Since I want such function for modern hebrew[1], I am not much worried
about this problem.
Good!
