question about German hyphenation

question about German hyphenation

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

    \starttext
    \de\hyphenatedword{Rindfleisch}
    \de\hyphenatedword{Rindfleischetikettierung}
    \stoptext

I’m not a native speaker, but I think that "Rindfleisch-etikettierung"
is right in German. (And I think that "Rindflei-schetikettierung" is wrong.)

Are the hyphenation patterns wrong in the cases above, or am I missing
something?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Yes it is wrong. Correct hyphenation points are 

Rind-fleisch-e-ti-ket-tie-rung

That's difficult to do right with patterns, in latex it is isn't
correct either. The problem is that two words have been combined.
(Rindfleisch and Etikettierung).

Many thanks for your reply, Ulrike.

I understand that this is an extreme example, so I’m going to add a new
hyphenation pattern to my presentation and forget about it.

Many thanks for your help,
