I have no clue what a package is supposed to do but any solution has to come up with a list if words.

I think the point is that often in German, breakpoints for hyphenation also break ligatures. I mentioned that in Nasbinals.

Best,

The guts of the selnolig package just call \hyphenation{...}: http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/CTAN/macros/luatex/latex/selnolig/s...

The interesting part for ligatures is in the patterns file

By using patterns they don't need a very huge word list, I think.

If patterns were the solution then making better pattern files would be the solution ... anyway, i just see a list of what are basically exceptions. So just for the fun of it i'll add {} as shortcut for \zwnj \replaceword[more][shiffling] [shiff{}ling] and this already was there \replaceword[more][shiffling] [shiffling] to prevent messing with something but i'll add an equivalent \replaceword[more][shiffling] [{shiffling}] variant (more explicit). The already existing replacement mechanism is good enough for this purpose and if needed we can always ship some lists.
