<div>Greetings All,<br>
<br>
I am having some problems with hyphenation in English and
wonder if I am missing something important in my header file.
The hyphenation program seems to be misfiring since it gives
the following hyphenations: n-ear, s-mall, b-lissful,
s-miling, y-our, and many more like this. I have been going
though and adding those words to my \hyphenation{} command and
that usually fixes them. But, as I go through the book, I
find that I find a bad hyphenation every few pages. There are
a lot of Indic words in the text and hyphenation will often
mess them up. That is understandable, but the wrong
hyphenation of these English words is puzzling. Any
suggestions?</div>

Before \begin{document}, \lefhyphenmin (the minimal number of
characters before a break, 2 by default for English) is 2, and 1
after \begin{document}, unless you comment the line
"\setotherlanguage{sanskrit}". So something is wrong with
polyglossia, from which I suppose the command comes from.<br>
