Yes, it does.

> What does the '1' in the pattern mean?

Odd numbers sign break points in Liang's algorithm. For a hyph_nl_NL patch, you
will need big odd numbers to set discretionary patterns on.
See README.hyphen in the attached library.

> Can I simply add rules like this at the end of hyph_nl_NL.dic?

Yes, you can, but the result must be processed with the substrings.pl program.

First, you need some hyphenation pattern analysis:

]$ grep e[0-9]*e[0-9]*t[0-9]*j[0-9] hyph_nl_NL.dic
.pee5tj2
ee3tj2
hee3tj2
plee5tj2
slee5tj2

$ grep e[0-9]e[0-9] hyph_nl_NL.dic
.al3e4e4
.met5e4e2
.ne4e4
.on4te4e2
.op5e4e4
.p4e4e4
.s4e4e3
afe4e4
a3ge4e4
ave4e4
...

Even numbers sign "no break" points. We need greater odd number, than 4
to permit discretionary hyphenation:

e5etje/é=t,1,3
a5atje/a=t,1,3

(there are also an other discretionary hyphenation group in Dutch:
``Dutch has two unusual hyphenations: The diminutive tje (for example) strootje
is hyphenated stro-tje the final o of the first syllable being deleted in the
hyphenated word. Where the gei(diaeresis), transliterated (geI), geu(diaereses),
transliterated (geU), gee(diaeresis), transliterated (geE), koo(diaeresis),
transliterated (koO), hyphenate ge-i, ge-e, ge-u and ko-o the second vowel
having lost the diaeresis.'': http://www.hyphenologist.co.uk/man-4-415.htm)

If you need some exception, you can add patterns with a greater even number
signed hyphenation point:

example6etje (not break point)

or

examle7etje (not discretionary hyphenation)

See also README.discretionary in the altlinuxHyph2.tar.gz.

I also suggest making a Dutch test file.

Regards,
Laci
