(Related to my other question here.) It seems that the polyglossia hyphenation rules for transliterated sanskrit by default allow hyphenation after a single character. See the example, the word ulūkādayaḥ
between third and fourth line gets hyphenated after only one character. How could I change that to be, for example, two characters?
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{sanskrit}
\newfontfamily\sanskritfont{TeX Gyre Pagella}
\setotherlanguage{english}
\newfontfamily\englishfont{TeX Gyre Pagella}
\begin{document}
asmadādiviśeṣaṇaśūnyasyārthasākṣātkāritvamātrasyaivendriyādhīnatvadarśanād anaikāntikatvam asambhavīti cet | yady evam arthasākṣātkāritvamātrasyendiryavadālokādhīnatvam upalabdham iti na santamase paśyeyur ulūkādayaḥ | atha vyabhicāradarśanād ālokasyāvyāpakatvam, vyabhicāraśaṅkayā tarhīndriyasyāpy avyāpakatvam | vyāptyā śaṅkā khaṇḍyata iti cet | śaṅkāsambhavād vyāptir evāsambhavinī yadi prathamata eva vyāptiḥ, vyabhicāro 'pi na dṛśyeta |
\end{document}
Edit: I still don't fully get it. I'm now trying to reduce the minimum hyphenatable characters on either end to one:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\tracingparagraphs=1
\setdefaultlanguage{sanskrit}
\setotherlanguage{english}
\PolyglossiaSetup{sanskrit}{
hyphenmins={1,1},
}
\newfontfamily\sanskritfont{TeX Gyre Pagella}
\newfontfamily\englishfont{TeX Gyre Pagella}
\begin{document}
anaikāntikatvam asambhavīti cet | yady evam arthasākṣātkāritvamātrasyendiryavadālokādhīnatvam upalabdham iti na santamase xx paśyeyur ulūkādayaḥ | atha vyabhicāradarśanād ālokasyāvyāpakatvam, vyabhicāraśaṅkayā tarhīndriyasyāpy avyāpakatvam | vyāptyā śaṅkā khaṇḍyata iti cet | śaṅkāsambhavād vyāptir evāsambhavinī yadi prathamata eva vyāptiḥ, vyabhicāro 'pi na dṛśyeta |
\end{document}
And get the following output:
I am surprised that it doesn't hyphenate the word generating the overfull \hbox, I would have expected khaṇḍya-ta
.

I can see that it generally doesn't want to hyphenate before the last syllable, why is that so?
\PolyglossiaSetup
has no effect.gloss-sanskrit.ldf
into my working directory and change the line with hyphenmins inside it it will do it, but that shouldn't be the way to do it, right?
