[XeTeX] Persian Hyphenation

Hello.

There is a short description of the syntax of hyphenation patterns on  
this page:

http://acm.pku.edu.cn/JudgeOnline/problem?id=3496

It should allow you to understand what the rules in "hyph-grc.tex"  
mean. If there are no etymological patterns in Persian your task will  
be pretty simple. Otherwise it may be rather long and complicated.  
There are many examples of exceptions to general rules, due to  
etymological considerations, in "hyph-grc.tex"; for instance the rule
	ἀ1
allows a break after ἀ. But the rule:
	ἀ2ν1άξιο
prevents it, so that the prefix ἀν- is not broken into two parts in  
the word ἀνάξιος.

Best wishes,

Yves
