Depends on the words and how the stemmer works.

moseley@bumby:~$ cat c
FuzzyIndexingMode stemming_en
moseley@bumby:~$ cat words
Environment
Environmental

moseley@bumby:~$ swish-e -T indexed_words -c c -i words -v0
    Adding:[1:swishdefault(1)]   'environ'   Pos:5  Stuct:0x9 ( BODY FILE )
    Adding:[1:swishdefault(1)]   'environment'   Pos:6  Stuct:0x9 ( BODY FILE )

So the stemmer considers those to be different.
