Dear László and others, We think we may have found a bug in libhyphen. It could be that it is just a limitation of the algorithm, but anyway it's an issue for us.
The problem is that some patterns in a dictionary are ignored in some cases, namely when the match string of that pattern is a part of the match string of another pattern, and more specifically when it's not just a prefix. Let me clarify that with an example. When a dictionary consists of these two patterns, the word `foobar' is not hyphenated because the first pattern is ignored: oo1b foob The second, longer pattern doesn't even have to match, as the second example shows (the first pattern is still ignored): oo1b foobz I have a patch that solves part of the problem: https://github.com/bertfrees/libhyphen-nar/blob/adc2b74a19469e4dc93777fcdb82e36e566a0472/src/patches/bug.patch With this patch the given examples will be handled correctly, but in other situations it will still fail, such as here: oo1b foobaz Have I indeed found a bug here, and does my patch make sense, or am I just expecting too much and are we hitting the limits of the algorithm? Thanks for considering, Bert Frees
