Hi Leah,
Hans added hyphenmin some time ago:
\setuplanguage[de][lefthyphenmin=2, righthyphenmin=3, hyphenmin=6]
\setuplanguage[deo][lefthyphenmin=2, righthyphenmin=3, hyphenmin=5]
\mainlanguage[de]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=1em]
\hyphenatedword{davon}
\deo\hyphenatedword{davon}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
It is technically on the wiki, but it lacks proper “wikification”.
I hope it helps,
Pablo
