Linguaphile can't tell the difference between - used as a hyphen
in hyphenated words and - used as a dash to separate
phrases.
It also can't handle words broken and the ends of lines with a
hyphen.
Good hyphen support needs to first look up the whole
hyphenated phrase then, if nothing is found, look up the individual
parts between the hyphens.

This is related to the problems with compound words in
languages such as German.

English and French both use lots of hyphens.
