Correct way of using forbidden word tag

I am planning to add this tag to hunspell affix file.

FORBIDDENWORD z

But I am not sure how it will work in this case...

test/sz

The s flag is already generating a few words in this case (for e.g. tests) Will "test" and "tests" both words will be forbidden now?

I know that the best option to use test/z and block the word test it self. But I will like to know if z tag can be used along with other tags and what will be it's implications.

Probably too late to be useful to you, but for future reference...

All affexed forms are forbidden. So e.g. test/sz will forbid both test and tests (assuming the s flag pluralizes).

The man pages clarify this:

This flag signs forbidden word form. Because affixed forms are also forbidden, we can subtract a subset from set of the accepted affixed and compound words.
