I can send the document I am currently working on. Do you also need a pdf of it to see the result? I have been through the introduction and first chapter correcting the mistaken hyphenations by hand. Chapters Two and Three have not been done. The only place Sanskrit or rather Devanagari is present is in the appendix. There is there a collection of songs in Braj Bhasha in the Devanagari script. The only actual piece of Sanskrit is in the invocation on the page following the title page. I have attached the master file and the foreword, the acknowledgments, and the introduction. Incorrect hyphenations occurred in all of them. I corrected them by adding words to the \hyphenation{} command. If you want the rest of the pieces and a
pdf, I am happy to supply them.

Last time I checked, Polyglossia used<br>\AtBeginDocument to set \lefthyphenmin and \righthyphenmin, and a<br>side-effect of that may be that the document uses hyphenmin settings for<br>some "other language" as declared to Polyglossia -- in that case,<br>Sanskrit, that has indeed \lefthyphenmin = \righthyphenmin = 1 (which<br>works fine for Sankrit typeset in Indic scripts, but is clearly a<br>problem for Roman transliteration -- but that is a different issue).<br><br> Neal, don't fiddle with your TeX installation, the problem must be<br>with Polyglossia, and there should be an easy way to work around it.<br>Unfortunately François Charette, the Polyglossia developer, apparently<br>doesn't have time to work on it any more, but in your case the solution<br>may actually be very simple.<br><br> However, we need to see examples of how you use Polyglossia exactly,<br>and hence a full document, not only the preamble.<br><br>
