I think you can also use inpos for that. outpos is most likely not
accurate (if you use pass2), as we did not fix it.

I think there is for some languages. Apparently it is so for German, but
this rule must be optional as we do not follow it. But I'm told that
also for English the word needs to be retranslated if it is hyphenated.
I don't know if liblouis is currently able to handle this use case.
