FM8 - what are hyphens.xxx files for?

[Klaus Daube]

   Dear all, especially the FM8 beta testers,

   Does anyone have an idea what the files hyphens.xxx in the directory
   dict are good for?

   They look very similar to *.dct (user.dct, site.dct, ...) files, but
   obviously are not case sensitive.

   Of course these files are coded in UTF-8. These files may be quite
   long. hyphens.bul for example has nearly 3000 lines. As far as I know,
   dct files are limited (or were limited?) to about 2000 lines.

   Your answer (or even guess) will help me to understand some things in
   FM8 better.
