[XeTeX] Odd hyphenations

[NEAL DELMONICO]

Thanks.  I will try this and uncomment the \setotherlanguage{Sanskrit}.  That 
way if there are any hyphenations in the Hindi verse, they will occur 
correctly.  Am I correct in thinking this?  Or, do I need to put other settings 
in for the Hindi sections?  And after the Hindi section do I put these again?

Best,

Neal

  Please don't do that, it is a total waste of your own time.  There is
a bug in Polyglossia.  It needs to be fixed, but for the time being it's
enough if you add the following two lines just before the start of the
English text:

    \lefthyphenmin=2
    \righthyphenmin=3

  That will prevent XeTeX from trying to hyphenate after the first character
of words, and before the last two characters.
