[NTG-context] Description Lists with labels longer than a single line

[NTG-context] Description Lists with labels longer than a single line

Hi,

I have a list of description (used to typeset an index) where in a few cases the label is longer than a single line. Apparantly, the label can’t span multiple lines:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\definedescription[indexentry]
                [alternative=hanging,
                align=flushleft,
                headstyle=normal,
                margin=1cm,
                width=broad,
                ]


\starttext
\startindexentry{Aliba oros irged ba: mongγol irged-neri qara tamiki tataγsan büged jaručiγulaqu jerge-yi jiγaburi abču sidken čegerlegülkü dürme ene bolumui}
123
\stopindexentry
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Is there a way to make this work? Or maybe there’s an easier solution?

Best,
Denis

OR, maybe the descriptions are just too long in some cases;
how about redacting and making them shorter to fit the context?

Unfortunately that's not possible. It's a title index, and for obvious reasons I won't be able to change the titles.
