Right, thanks, however good and bad news.


I am using 

(define-abbrev-table 'fundamental-mode-abbrev-table
  '(
    ("a que" "a qué" nil :count 0)
    ("asi" "así" nil :count 0))
  "Uwe's table"
  :regexp "\\(\\w+ \\w+\\)")


    1. It works in the sense that "a que" is expanded to "a qué"

    2. But now asi is *not* expanded to así

The reasons seems to me that what you did is globally for the whole
table, while I hoped it could be done locally for each entry.

Am I correct?
