Why `normalize.hyphenated_words` is not able to reassemble all words separated by a line break? about textacy HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey @afi1289 , this preprocessing function uses a regex that looks for at least two letter-like characters on either side of a hyphen+whitespace, while the failing two cases in your example text include only a single letter on one side of the hyphen. This restriction seems reasonable to me, but I don't know if it's a bad assumption in certain languages like German. Could you educate me on valid cases where a single letter gets split off from the remaining letters by a hyphen and a newline?

Hey @bdewilde Thanks a lot for your reply,
I don't think that is a bad assumption in German :) . I just wanted to understand this function. Now everything is clear!
