[XeTeX] sanskrit hyphenation question

[Yves Codet]

Hello.

Sorry about the late reply.

As Arthur wrote, the choice (1,5) was a mere mistake of mine. I hope it is forgiven now :) I had in  mind (very very rare) cases like ऊर्क्, which are probably best handled with an \mbox{} if they ever occur at the end of a line.

Later I again suggested 1 for \lefthyphenmin because if you choose 2 it will allow पि-बति but not प-तति, though there is one akshara on the left of the break in both cases.

For \righthyphenmin if you choose 2 you will allow breaks like अपत-त्, which is quite undesirable; that is why I suggested 3.

What do you think?

Best wishes,

Yves
