On page 450 of TeXBook, Donald Knuth says ``The interletter values in these 
patterns are all between 0 and 5; a large odd value like 5 forces desirable 
hyphen points while a large even value like 4 suppresses undesireable hyphens''

In the pattern that I want to write, I want to have like 5ZWNJ5 (break before 
and after ZWNJ) and I also want to break after non-joinder persian alphabets so 
something like ``non-joiner alphabet1'' where non-joiner alphabet denotes any 
non-joiner Persian alphabet. I thought this is a suitable way to do it because 
if any word contains ZWNJ and a non-joiner alphabet, then the word will be 
broken after ZWNJ since ZWNJ has value 5, but it turned out that my assumption 
was wrong and the word would break depending on where of the end of the line it 
is.

So does this mean that I have toconsider all possible patterns that include 
ZWNJ and any non-joiner persian alphabet where I put 5 after ZWNJ and 4 after 
or before any non-joiner alphabet? or there is an easier approach?
