But if you do this, all compound words starting with "data" and continuing
with another word starting with "a" will be sorted incorrectly!
To achieve this effect, you would have to mark which AAs are A-Rings and
which ones are accidental adjacencies. In Danish one can use the SHY (soft
hyphen) to break the latter, as these accidental pairs occur at legal word
break points. In fact, that's the recommended solution, but it requires
that the input data are in a sepecific form.
