It turned out to be a +rather short table (compared to the one for English) because Portuguese has very +concise rules for hyphenation. + +I'd like to make this table public and freely distributed. Even included in the +distribution tapes. I have extensively tested it (with patgen) and haven't found +any erroneous hyphenation. It does miss some hyphens but they are very very few. +It certainly does not hyphenate a word beyond an accent or a cedilla, but that's +the way TeX handles hyphenation of words with intervening macros (cf.
