2) When hypenating a compound word in the hypen, in the next line a hypen is also necesary anai-arrebak is hypendated I don't know whether this can be done automatically, but you can use anai|_|arrebak to create the desired effect (see supp-lan.tex).
I solve this problem in basque for babel with the following definition of "- declare@shorthand{basque}{"-}{\nobreak\discretionary{-}{-}{-}\bbl@allowhyphens} The trick is done by \discretionary (TeX internal). The three arguments are pre, post, nohypen text. When there is a hypenation in this point in the firs line is put pre, and post in the next line. If there is no hypenation nohypen text is put.
