Hi Willi,

I must admit that after the reform some 20 years ago, I'm no longer certain about German rules. But I think that in fact, according to the new rules, ß is no longer hyphenated the way you suggest. Duden § 164.3: "Ein einzelner Konsonantenbuchstabe im Wortinneren kommt in der Regel auf die neue Zeile; von mehreren Konsonantbuchstaben trennt man nur den letzten ab.
Zum Beispiel
[…]
    Grü-ße, hei-ßen

So Eiwei-ßes may in fact be correct... But I assume that Arthur has some authoritative answer to this question.

Best

Thomas

Hi,

at the moment I am dealing with a German text. Although I have 
\mainlanguage[de] in the preamble the word 'des Eiweißes' is hyphenated as 'des 
Eiwei-ßes'. Of course this should be 'des Eiweis-ses'.

How can I make sure that ConTeXt is hyphenating this corerctly?

Kind regards
Willi
