If patterns were the solution then making better pattern files would be 
the solution ... anyway, i just see a list of what are basically 
exceptions.

So just for the fun of it i'll add {} as shortcut for \zwnj

   \replaceword[more][shiffling] [shiff{}ling]

and this already was there

   \replaceword[more][shiffling] [shiffling]

to prevent messing with something but i'll add an equivalent

   \replaceword[more][shiffling] [{shiffling}]

variant (more explicit). The already existing replacement mechanism is 
good enough for this purpose and if needed we can always ship some lists.

Hans
