Hello Pablo, > Since hyphenation in German is syllabic (the same word seems to say it: > »Silbentrennung«), shouldn’t it be hyphenathed as "Me-tho-de"?
That's not what I observe, using the patterns in TeX Live 2014. The
word is correctly hyphenated Me-tho-de. Could you somehow have
something that set \lefthyphenmin and \righthyphenmin to 3 in your
document? Or is the word by any chance the first in its paragraph?
Best,
Arthur
