In a grammar we're writing, the gloss of a word "xowunʣāy" gets hyphenated immediately after the 'x'. I thought I could prevent this by adding the command
   \hyphenation{xowunʣāy}
near the beginning of the file (before the \begin{document} command). However, this has no effect; the word still gets hyphenated.

The paragraph of text in the input is
   Applies to nouns (including verbal nouns) and
   adjectives. \pusArabicScript{ښوون(ه)} /xowun(a)/  \emph{teaching};
   \pusArabicScript{ښوونځای} /xowunʣāy/  \emph{schoolhouse}.
where \pusArabicScript is our command to switch into Arabic script.

Any idea why the \hyphenation{} command is ineffective?
