     <P>Example: In German pre-spelling-reform you may have the following:
     getWord:					Dampfschiffahrt
     getPossibleHyphens:			Dampf=schiff=fahrt
     getOrigHyphensPositions:	4, 9
     That is "Dampfschiffahrt" can be hyphenated after the "pf" (4) and
     between the double "ff" (9). And if you are going to hyphenate it at
     position 9 you will get an additional "f" before the hyphen
     character.</P>
