No. The "hyphenex.*" files (should) show correct hyphenations, just
as words in the ".hw" request and with the '\%' hyphenation indicator.
Just because people have not read about the purpose or reasons for
these numbers (4 and 8) does not mean, that they do not have a reason
or a purpose.
This lack of documenting the "why's" are bad, waste peoples time and
obscure understanding the reason for a specific code.
So what is (was) the reason for these numbers and following that the
purpose?
N.B.
See also bug #52457 "src: the first letter hyphenated in an English
word".
