2. A bigger solution might be to use selnoligs patterns in a script that can be run over a large corpus, such as the DWDS (Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache). That should produce us a more complete list of words where ligatures must be suppressed.

where is that DWDS ... i can write some code to deal with it (i'd rather start from the source than from some interpretation; who know what more there is to uncover)

As it turn out, the linguists that helped with the selnolig package did use another corpus: Stuttgart "Deutsch" Web as Corpus They describe their approach in that paper: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SHildebrandt/selnolig-check/master/selnoli... https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SHildebrandt/selnolig-check/master/selnoli...

A lot of corpora can be found here: https://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/de https://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/de especially here: https://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/de/download/German https://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/de/download/German There are corpora of many other languages, too, such as English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Latin, … HTH Ralf
