So this boils down to finding a functional hyphenation algorithm for each
language.
If no hyphen is needed, then write "lecker". Otherwise write "lek-ker". On
a side note, I didn't know this German hyphenation variant. In Dutch we
have similar constructs involving the use (or not) of accents, such as in
"zoëven/zo-even" and "beëdigde/be-edigde/beë-dig-de/" involving even more
than one variant.
I suppose if such things happen, we _should_ be able to write something
as"lecker/leck-ker".
Not sure though how to implement this.
Best regards,
Olivier
