Of course in contrast to you I haven't spent a lot of thought on hyphenation throughout my life. So please bear with me if I'm speaking nonsense. But I don't see these two as counterexamples. Remember that I suggest applying the "lyrics" rule as a second pass. So: "re-al" and "Teak-holz" are the results of the first pass, then: Teakholz isn't interesting at all as it doesn't have vowels at syllable borders. The "e" and the "a" in "real" wouldn't match either because they *are* vowels at syllable borders - but hyphenating them would leave the "r" or the "l", which are no syllables anymore. So the rule would be "vowels at the border of syllables with at least three letters (and at least one other vowel?) can be hyphenated as a syllable in lyrics". But surely I'm still missing something. And of course I don't think it's necessary to catch 100% of the cases. I'd say anything that is better than 50% is an improvement ...
