 	<P>Example: In German pre-spelling-reform you may have the following:
 	getWord:					Dampfschiffahrt
 	getPossibleHyphens:			Dampf=schiff=fahrt
 	getOrigHyphensPositions:	4, 9
 	That is "Dampfschiffahrt" can be hyphenated after the "pf" (4) and
 	between the double "ff" (9). And if you are going to hyphenate it at
 	position 9 you will get an additional "f" before the hyphen
 	character.</P>
