At the tex level you need either

Hello,
Do you know, how this is done in LaTeX? I remember, that such things have never been a problem there.
IIRC, the languages that needed this used the \lccode change together with higher values of \lefthyphenmin and \righthyphenmin to prevent bad hyphenations like ``instruccion-s''. But that was at least half a decade ago, so I may recall this wrong or something may have changed since then. Best wishes, Taco
