>From the latex faq:
* TeX won't hyphenate a word that's already been hyphenated. For example, the
(caricature) English surname Smyth-Postlethwaite wouldn't hyphenate, which
could be troublesome. This is correct English typesetting style (it may not
be correct for other languages), but if needs must, you can replace the
hyphen in the name with a \hyph command, defined
def\hyph{\penalty0\hskip0pt\relax}
This is not the sort of thing this FAQ would ordinarily recommend... The
hyphenat package defines a bundle of such commands (for introducing
hyphenation points at various punctuation characters).
* The hyphenation may simply not have been spotted; while TeX's algorithm is
good, it's not infallible, and it does miss perfectly good hyphenations in
some languages. When this happens, you need to give TeX explicit
instructions on how to hyphenate.
The \hyphenation command allows you to give explicit instructions. Provided
that the word will hyphenate at all (that is, it is not prevented from
hyphenating by any of the other restrictions above), the command will
override anything the hyphenation patterns might dictate. The command takes
one or more hyphenated words as argument - \hyphenation{ana-lysis pot-able};
note that (as here, for analysis) you can use the command to overrule TeX's
choice of hyphenation (ana-lysis is the British etymological hyphenation;
some feel the American hyphenation feels 'unfortunate'...).
