        """Return the Soundex code for a word.

        Parameters
        ----------
        word : str
            The word to transform
        max_length : int
            The length of the code returned (defaults to 4)
        var : str
            The variant of the algorithm to employ (defaults to ``American``):

                - ``American`` follows the American Soundex algorithm, as
                  described at :cite:`US:2007` and in :cite:`Knuth:1998`; this
                  is also called Miracode
                - ``special`` follows the rules from the 1880-1910 US Census
                  retrospective re-analysis, in which h & w are not treated as
                  blocking consonants but as vowels. Cf. :cite:`Repici:2013`.
                - ``Census`` follows the rules laid out in GIL 55
                  :cite:`US:1997` by the US Census, including coding prefixed
                  and unprefixed versions of some names

        reverse : bool
            Reverse the word before computing the selected Soundex (defaults to
            False); This results in "Reverse Soundex", which is useful for
            blocking in cases where the initial elements may be in error.
        zero_pad : bool
            Pad the end of the return value with 0s to achieve a max_length
            string

        Returns
        -------
