I'm not sure that this is really true. As far as I know, `sss' in
Swiss German was handled similar to other triplet consonants before
the 1996 spelling reform. In other words, you would have written
Abschlussatz (`closing sentence')
instead of
Abschlusssatz ,
and which would have been hyphenated as
Abschluss-satz
