It has taken me some time to conjecture that *mwe* would probably mean *minimal working example* and somewhat more to try to concoct something that could pass for it, but here it is, in the attached file *mis-hyph.tex*. I hope not to have incurred in any gross mistake.

Attached are also three other files (*exhibit-n.pdf*) which show the results of its compilation under three different circumstances. These circumstances are described at the end of each typeset text. Mishyphenated words are underlined.

Inept as it is, this example has proved to me that I was mistaken in my initial supposition that the problem was related to the importing mechanism of a separate file containing the exceptions' list. The difficulty seems now to lie deeper into the hyphenation machinery itself.

I would be glad if it could be of any help to solve it.

Kind regards

Francisco
