Hi,
the expansion of \varc becomes a part of the word which then cannot be
founs in \patters. Since it is a compound word, both parts have a chance to
be in \patterns, so you must inform TeX that these parts should be
considered words. This definition works:
\newcommand{\varc}[2]{\nobreak\hskip 0

Thanks for the workaround!
I checked with other parts of my edition and there are still erratic
problems. In the
example below the first paragraph works, but the second does not.
My installation is recent:

Ah. I think I know why I didn't get any hyphenation:
Font mapping `RomDev.tec' for font `Sanskrit 2003' not found.
Where is the .tec?

Hi,
this is the problem of the first word of a paragraph which is too long and
TeX never hyphenates the first word. I did not managed to persuade TeX to
consider it as the second word but maybe somebody knows TeX better than me
and can help.
