Hi Thomas,

short answer: use \hyphenation after \begin{document}, then it works.
However, I've been wondering for a while now why this is the case – can someone 
explain this behaviour?

It could well be that the hyphenation patterns defined using
polyglossia are not actually loaded until the \begin{document}
by loading the appropriate commands using
   \AtBeginDocument{... whatever ...}

Yes, apparently … but /why/?

You can use this too, within the preamble, by doing:

\AtBeginDocument{\hyphenation{%
einer
Me-ta-ethik
}}

d'oh … I have to admit, I've never thought about using AtBeginDocument for this … more convenient than putting it after \begin{document}, indeed.

cheers
Arno
