I appreciate the response.
However, you are light years ahead of me in understanding ConTeXt, so I
don't quite know what to do with the info you have given me! I have
difficulty understanding your comment 'This is not interfaced via
setuphead *or* setuplangauge *or* because the converter is not
configured that way'. The 'or' throws me out, I'm afraid. Were you going
to suggest somewhere else?
I assumed that I would need to add \def\verbosenumberconnector{--} as a
definition in the preamble (and have), but where do I call it in? Not in
\setuphead[chapter] that is for sure, but I need to call on it
somewhere. Where?

MWE
\setuphead[chapter][
header=empty,
alternative=middle,
style={\ssd},
number=yes,
conversion=Word,
command=\MyChapterCommand,
after={\blank[1cm]},
]
Problem is, when we get to chapter Twenty-one (which is the correct
way to write it in English) it gives me 'Twenty One'. Is there a way,
in my setup, that I can force it to give me 'Twenty-one'? (note the
hyphen and the lower case for 'one').
I don't think MyChapterCommand is relevant here, but just in case,
this is it:
\define[2]\MyChapterCommand%
{\framed[frame=on,bottomframe=on,leftframe=off,rightframe=off,topframe=off,align=middle]
{\vbox{\headtext{chapter} #1\blank#2}}}
I'll add this:
\def\verbosenumberconnector{--}
so you can define your own connectors. This is not interfaced via
setuphead or setuplangauge or because the converter is not configured
that way (maybe some day but I need to discuss it with Wolfgang
because then we want to solve that for all commands and make the right
choice for keys and so).
Up to you to wikify it.
