Follow-up Comment #3, bug #53413 (project groff):

German patterns use numbers up to value 8 – this means that such a `safety
addition' as you suggest isn't possible, because values can't be larger
than 9.

> "*roff" has the 'hy=1' which TeX does not(?).

It's not clear what you want to say.  If you mean that TeX doesn't support
\{left,right}hyphenmin=1, this is not correct.  You can set those two
parameters to any value.  However, if you select a too low value, you also get
invalid hyphenation points.

And `generally' using `.hy 48' is a bad idea.  Values of `.hy' are always
bound to the currently selected hyphenation patterns.
