Basically, a “word” as seen by the hyphenation algorithm is a sequence of
characters with non-zero \lccode, which are not immediately preceded or
followed by “bad stuff” (e.g. characters with zero \lccode, \discretionary,
explicit \kern, vertical mode material); this is the simplified version, see
appendix H of the TeX Book for the exact details. This implies, BTW, that words
which are joined by an explicit hyphen are not hyphenated because TeX inserts a
\discretionary after each hyphen automatically.
