Attached are tweaked endings for words like "wolf" to include contracted
endings, but they are being ignored. This makes for a minor inconsistency:
wolfing -- no ligature
wolfish -- no ligature
wolfin -- no ligature (incorrect spelling, though)
wolfin' -- ligature
Any ideas? I tried adding various -in suffixes without luck:
suffixes = [[
in,
in',
in’,
ing
]],
See https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Ligatures#Word_suppression for an
example usage.
Thank you!

I'm probably missing something here but...
1) The file you attached doesn't include the word "wolfing", nor "wolfin". I assume they need to be added into the f|i section? Wolfish *is* present so I'm not sure why it's being ignored unless there is an error being generated as a result of point (2) below, causing the whole file to be ignored.
2) Your suffixes list has comma separators - all the other word lists use whitespace as a separator.
3) Lastly, dumb question but... have you checked that you edited the right file? In my ConTeXt install there are two "lang-en.llg" files - one under <root>/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/patterns/lmtx and the other under .../patterns/mkxl

Thanks for the response, Bruce.
1) The file you attached doesn't include the word "wolfing", nor "wolfin".
> I assume they need to be
The suffixes section accounts for this. Wolfing and wolfish both suppress
the ligature correctly.
I removed the comma separators, good catch. No difference, though.
Looks like I edited
/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/patterns/mkxl/lang-en.llg
instead of the LMTX file. SMH.
I've now tried both files, lmtx and mkxl:
suffixes = [[
in
in'
in’
ing
]],
Wolfish works fine, the ligature is suppressed as expected. Wolfing,
wolfin, and wolfin' aren't suppressed. I'd have thought that defining the
word "wolf" with a suffix of "ing" (and variations thereof) would suppress
ligatures at the suffix boundary?
Maybe that's not the case. If so, then it means having to define all the
*f-ing words (heh) a few times for the different suffixes (in', in’, and
ing), which seems to defeat the purpose of separating suffixes?
Help is appreciated.

Could you please share a complete MWE. Makes it easier to test if the problem occurs here as well.
Best,

A somewhat more complete testfile with a couple of options is below. My context installation is not current so please double check, but I think it boils down to this: apostrophes seem not to be considered to be part of a word. Once I enable wolfin under \startlanguageoptions[en] it will disable the fi-ligature everywhere below, but adding the word variants with an apostroph doesn’t do anything, neither to the explicit wordlist under startlanguageoptions, nor in one of the additional goodies files.
