Sorry for my weird sentences.

Now, I have almost completed the work on UTF-8 patterns for ancient
Greek (see also attached), but I have come across a small incident and
I need your help: I noticed that words ending with a consonant (e.g.,
λ) and right guillemets (») get hyphenated before the consonant, which
is wrong, despite the patterns that prohibit hyphenation before final
consonants (e.g., 4λ.). To overcome the problem I added extra
prohibitive patterns with the right guillemets after the final
consonant (e.g., 4λ».). But I think that the problem is just the
\llcode of the character ». What do you think?

hm, weird indeed; so maybe ship two versions *-normal, *-weird
There are some now extra weird patterns using quillements just in
order to prevent weird breaks, but I agree that it's probably a wrong
lccode. (On the first place: XeTeX should complain that » in patterns
is not a letter, but it doesn't. It only complains when it hits an
apostrophe. Do not ask me how mapping=tex-text which maps ' to some
unicode apostrophe handles that case.)
it makes no sense to polute patterns with hacks
(i remember something similar with french and apostrofe)
