Greetings MarsSeed and Marcell,
The enchant-pure is more "pure" than extra repo's version because
it is built by disabling all backends, but the aspell and hunspell
which allow all languages to be enabled/disabled selectively. If
we install those other backends, they will be detected and used at
runtime with no issue too (as demonstrated by the enchant-hspell
AUR package).
However, the extra repo's version is built by enabling all backend engines. Therefore, even when those backends are not installed, the built enchant contains those (missing) dependencies binding.
This problem can be seen by running "gedit" as an example enchant client, after installing the extra repo's version of enchant package, and watching its warnings in the console (open gedit with the enchant-pure version and no such warning will be printed):

Actually this has not one, but two more mandatory spell checker library depends compared to repo's enchant. So it is even more "impure", to coin this package's weird choice of qualifier suffix.

This is less "pure" than extra repo's package, because it has one more mandatory depends than the latter. The repo package defines its dependency on all spell checking engines as optional.
