Hyphenation problem with derivations

Proper nouns and hyphens: when the name derives, like in -laš, we should get a hyphenation point in front of the derivation, but we don’t. Example:

Oslo > os^lo*laš
* = missing hyphenation point


sme $ lookup -flags mbTT -utf8 bin/hyph-sme.fst
0%>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>100%
oslolaš
oslolaš Os^lolaš


sme$lookup -flags mbTT -utf8 bin/hyphrules-sme.fst
0%>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 100%
oslolaš
oslolaš os^lo^laš

Marker for derivational suffix (and, by extension to other languages, also prefix):

What about inflectional suffixes? > is used in sma and nob. This speaks against using it for derivation.

root*1*der*2*infl
    %>     %>
Der1 Der2 Der3
C+   VC*  CVC


l u  tags, stem
l l  diacr  here
=
g u  diacr  here
g l  wordform (w or w/o hyphen)

:0 - no hyphenation

If visisble hyphenation:

:- IFF _ C V :0 IFF _ C #

In smj, also inflections fall outside our hyphenation rules:

Basudissaj
Basudissaj      Ba^su^dissaj
Bájddárin
Bájddárin       Bájd^dárin
Bájddárin       Bájd^dárin
Heandarahkii
Heandarahkii    Hean^da^rahkii

I have found bad hyphenation=no hyphenation in some nouns as well

Hyph transducer/speller:

johtolahkii
johtolahkii joh^to^lahkii

Rules only: johtolahkii joh^to^lah^kii
