Hi,
at the moment I am dealing with a German text. Although I have \mainlanguage[de] in the preamble the word 'des Eiweißes' is hyphenated as 'des Eiwei-ßes'. Of course this should be 'des Eiweis-ses'.
How can I make sure that ConTeXt is hyphenating this corerctly?
Kind regards
Willi

Hi Willi,
I must admit that after the reform some 20 years ago, I'm no longer
certain about German rules. But I think that in fact, according to the
new rules, ß is no longer hyphenated the way you suggest. Duden § 164.3:
"Ein einzelner Konsonantenbuchstabe im Wortinneren kommt in der Regel
auf die neue Zeile; von mehreren Konsonantbuchstaben trennt man nur den
letzten ab.
Zum Beispiel
[…]
Grü-ße, hei-ßen
So Eiwei-ßes may in fact be correct... But I assume that Arthur has some
authoritative answer to this question.
Best
Thomas

I’ll refer to the German hyphenation pattern list as an authority
(https://lists.dante.de/mailman/listinfo/trennmuster) :-) But I do
believe that you, Thomas, are right and that Eiwei-ßes is correct (while
Ei-weißes is much better anyway). It is in fact logical: ‘ß’ in the new
spelling means that the preceding sound is long, hence it has to be
spelt that way always, not “analysed” as ‘ss’. If you were to hyphenate
Straße as Stras-se, it would indicate a different pronunciation.
Best,
Arthur

Sorry, Willi, but that hyphenation is correct, and your suggestion was
also wrong in the previous iterations of German orthography. Only ck was
changed to k-k; hyphenation of ß a s-s was only allowed if you replaced
ß by ss anyway (like in Switzerland).

Thanks everybody very much for the explanations. — As I am Swiss, these matters with ß were never correctly understood and my knowledge about hyphenation is old…
Thank you Thomas for pointing me to the Duden-rules. I will check-out the same issue about ck and k-k …
Kind regards
Willi
