Really dumb directional question

I can't believe I haven't noticed this until now, but...
I have a room where you can go northeast, south, and southwest. If I type 'n', I am moved to the northeast. What?!?
I looked at the other rooms that have a northeast direction that do NOT have a north direction defined and the same applies. Does 'n' equal 'ne' if a north direction is not specified?
Does this always happen? If so, how do I correct this?

For any command input, it checks first for exact matches, so if there is a north direction it matches "n". If it does not get a match, it looks for partial matches, and so matches "n" to "northeast".
