If my document contains e.g. the mathematical term "d-dimensional", the LyX spellchecker will treat this as a single word and complain, instead of considering it as a combination of two words to be checked independently. In the latter case I would only be forced to add "d" to the list of words, and all would be well.

Is there a way to make this Enchant spellchecker understand that it should only check each word separately when they are connected by a hyphen?

Now I'm hoping someone will simply tell me about a magical configuration setting for Enchant to obtain this behaviour! :-)

I definitely "me-too" this. When you have a lot of these in your file, you tend to overlook other squiggly underlines, and so misspelled words sneak through. As a particular caution, for most mathematical notation it really is d-dimensional where the d is in math-mode (or emphasized), which may be even worse.
