constructing and using large lexicon in a program

[Majdi Sawalha]

Dear List members,

I am developing a morphological analyzer that depends on a large lexicon. i 
construct a Lexicon class that reades a text file and construct a dictionary of 
the lexicon entries. 
the other class will use the lexicon class to chech if the word is found in the 
lexicon. the problem that this takes long time as each time an object of that 
class created, then it needs to call the lexicon many times. then when the 
lexicon is called it re-construct the lexicon again. is there any way to 
construct the lexicon one time during the execution of the program? and then the 
other modules will search the already constructed lexicon.

best regards
Majdi
