I have (i was used to run a very old version of groff that didn't ship with the files) the following in one of my .tmac's: .hla de .hpf hyphen.de .hpfa hyphenex.de This gets me going (hyphen.de and hyphenex.de can be found in the $GROFF_TMAC_PATH, as well, see `man groff', section `ENVIRONMENT'). Here, hyphen.de contains TeX \patterns{..} which look like `.aa6l .ab3a4s' etc. and hyphenex.de contains mostly \hyphenation{..} overwrites, as in `AIDS % AI-DS', which makes me assume the `ex' suffix means `exceptions' indeed. So you need the generic patterns which feed in the algorithm, and may have exceptions which tweak the result of it where it fails. That's all i know :) --steffen
