Re: [elreq] Does Ethiopic text also get wrapped by word? (#116)

This is a really nice demonstrator/tester!  Thanks for creating it @r12a , I'll spend more time with it this evening.

Wordspace should not be wrapped alone, so a rule would be needed.  This would be true of punctuation as well.

I observed another rule this past weekend while scanning a book, "ዜናዊ ፓርልማ" from 1953 (1946EC) produced by a government agency.  The book uses wordspace and frequent word breaking at the end of a line.  The breaking always leaves at _least_ 2 letters at the end of the line; it so consistent  and frequent that it must be deliberate.  This is in contrast to handwritten manuscripts where the split can occur after a single letter.   It is visually appealing, I had not picked up on it before, I'll review other works to see if this "at least two" rule is applied.
