[tex-hyphen] Names of files in OFFO

[Claudio Beccari]

Did I?
No, hyphenation patterns for Modern Latin are phonetic while for classic 
Latin are etymological. Even if there are many common patterns, they are 
very different in their substance.
Just as an example, take the point of s(consonant). In modern Latin the 
hyphenation is always -s(consonant) while in classic Latin it is  
s-(consonant) exept when certain prefixes are involved; let's not speak 
of the many Latin prefixes and desinences of declinations and conjugations.

I'd have hard time to say that a pattern set of approximately 335 
patterns (modern/medieval Latin) is practically the same as another set 
of apporximately 655 patterns  (classic latin).

I ask again: Did I ever say such an unbelievable thing?
