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?
Did you activate the correct language?
Not sure what you mean here. The default language of the grammar is
English; we have not tagged /xowunʣāy/ as belonging to any language, so
I'm assuming XeTeX thinks it's a funny-looking English word.
