Is that a standard English word? "Sequester" is; sometimes used in
U.S. criminal procedure to refer to a process of isolating a jury during
its deliberations. I think I've also seen it in fiscal contexts.
"sequester, sequestered, sequestering" would all be standard.
Does TeX break these? Our hyphenation patterns, including the
exceptions, come from TeX.
If TeX doesn't handle this word, I'm inclined to advise that a document
do so itself with the `hw` request.
Hmm. "sequestration" _does_ seem standard to me, though.
But groff also breaks it just fine for me.
$ hyphen sequestration
se‐ques‐tra‐tion
$ cat ~/bin/hyphen
#!/bin/sh
: ${HY:=4}
for W
do
printf ".hy $HY\n.ll 1u\n%s\n" "$W" | nroff -Wbreak | sed '/^$/d' \
| tr -d '\n'
echo
done
