Well, THAT is some piece o' code! While just getting a remote idea of how it works and what it does, and not pretending this will be a generally correct solution, adding

Code:

  gsub (/sh/, "&-",a)
  gsub (/ph/, "-&",a)

just above the first while (i = match... will result in

Code:

ashford    ash-ford    1     VCC-CVrC
raphael    ra-pha-el    2     rV-CCV-VC

And this will correct for the syllable count:

Code:

  n+=gsub (/sh/, "&-",a)
  n+=gsub (/ph/, "-&",a)

resulting in

Code:

ashford    ash-ford    2     VCC-CVrC
raphael    ra-pha-el    3     rV-CCV-VC

---------- Post updated at 15:57 ---------- Previous update was at 15:53 ----------

Howsoever, with the overall algorithm,YMMV:

Code:

reel    re-el    2     rV-VC
real    re-al    2     rV-VC
cooperation    co-o-pe-ra-ti-on    6     cV-V-CV-rV-CV-VC
Liverpool    Li-ver-po-ol    4     LV-CVr-CV-VC

An, not sure if you now like the way it hyphenates shepherd:

Code:

shepherd    sh-e-pherd    3     CC-V-CCVrC
