I'm not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me that you're right.

Here's a link to Elaine Uí Dhonnchadha's web page about the Irish

Page 20 in the PowerPoint presentation at
    http://www.ite.ie/links/cng.ppt
says that this was indeed used in the Irish spellchecker, but doesn't 
give any details.

BTW, there's a good intro to finite state transducers, together with an 
explanatino of how that can be useful for spell checking, at
