Sorry to come back to this after a quite random time, but if I understand correctly, your problem can be solved by: * listing all 4-letter words that would be hyphenated as exceptions * having a \totalhyphenmin primitive that would set the minimal total characters of an hyphenated word Is the first solution reasonable? If not, I think it might be worth asking for \totalhyphenmin in engines under development (LuaTeX, XeTeX), what do you think? LibreOffice has an option for it, and it seems reasonable, so I can't see why it would be refused. If you think it might help, I can report the request. Thank you, -- Elie
