Description

Several of the languages have a list of exceptionally hyphenated words after the list of patterns. Currently hypher simply ignores those.

(Of course, the ideal solution would be to create improved patterns that do not need exceptions, but that's much more effort.)

Research direction

Start by locating the language data that lists exceptionally hyphenated words after the patterns, then trace how words are processed against those patterns. Done means the listed exceptions affect hyphenation instead of being ignored, while existing pattern-based behavior remains intact.
