No.
Thanks for making this clear.
The best luatex can do is give you all the patterns for a language
as a space-delimited string:
<string> s = lang.patterns(<number> l)
Are there any plans to replace libhnj by a pure Lua implementation? As
long as hyphenation is hard-coded in C, it remains a black box for the
LuaTeX user. As far as I understand it, there is no easy way to monitor
the hyphenation process other than writing your own hyphenation module,
messing with nodes, and hook that into the hyphenate() callback. :(
but you will have to extract the ones that fit a particular word
yourself.
That's what I'm doing, currently (outside luatex).
