Why the English word 'Howdy' is not hyphenated?
It would be helpful if some one explains how this works.
hyphenated_word = hyphen_dict.inserted("howdy") print(hyphenated_word)
howdy
Hello!

I’m not sure to understand your question.
If you want to understand how hyphenation works in English, I’m not sure that I can help you. The Syllabification article on Wikipedia gives interesting pointers to understand how it works (spoiler: you have to use a dictionary).
If you’re expecting this word to be hyphenated, then the problem is in the dictionary, not in Pyphen. An online hunspell-based tool also gives no hyphenation. You can try to report a bug in LibreOffice/dictionaries, that’s where Pyphen dictionaries come from.
