ToWords - Hebrew language

[hmemcpy]

In Hebrew, there are both masculine and feminine forms of numbers, e.g. 1 can be either אחת ("achat", feminine) or אחד ("echad", masculine), depending on the preceding or following word.

I wonder how to address this issue in implementing ToWords() Hebrew extension? An additional overload, accepting this sounds reasonable, but not all languages have this...

Ideas?

You have to use a dictionary for that, and you can use hspell and my C# code that reads it and allows to figure out if a word is masculine or feminine. Caveat: it's AGPL3 licensed. See: https://github.com/synhershko/HebMorph/tree/master/dotNet/HebMorph/HSpell

But personally I don't think it is worth the effort...

As this is a simple ToWords(this int number) extension, I don't suppose I need to go all the way of figuring out the form. Maybe I can settle for an enum after all. @SLaks did something very similar: https://github.com/ShomreiTorah/Libraries/blob/master/ShomreiTorah.Common/Extensions.cs#L700

There is #74 issue, which is about to introduce GrammaticalGender enum and @mexx did this in #147

Also it is related to #149

#147 and #149 are now both merged and provide a great infrastructure for this.
