First I need to say:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch!
That's captivating. I just looked it up on wikipedia. Interesting.
Link for the interested:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanfairpwllgwyngyll#Name

2nd, William. Thanks for doing the research on that. Do you mind adding
this to bugs.scribus.net as a feature request? So when the time comes
around for the hyphenation feature in scribus to get updated we'll have
this available.

Cheers!
/Kunda
