I know many prefer ar-hasi, but there are some books where you would find a-rhasi. On page 189 of Gray's edition of Vāsavadattā (Delhi, 1962), for instance, I can see: ...nirmu-kta..., ...ku-ṭṭimam. So, for a start, I did exactly what Arthur described, I chose the easy way. But I can add rules allowing a break after the first consonant of a consonant cluster. If there are rules such as: a1 ... r3h you should get ar-hasi rather than a-rhasi without having to modify hyphenmins. >> Why do I have to pretend that this is Devanagari (\devanagarifont)? > > This is by design in polyglossia (see gloss-sanskrit.ldf).
