Formatting of word Southerness

[Chris Clemens]

Would the word southerness be brailled s [u]ou[/u] [u]the[/u] r n e s s or s [u]ou[/u] [u]the[/u] r [u]ness[/u]? I cannot find the word in the dictionary, but I think it would be divided after southern - ess.

Hello,

The word southerness would be brailled using the contraction for ness. By comparison, it is similar to baroness and lioness. Even though the ness contraction overlaps the root word southern, it is easily readable in this word and there is no rule prohibiting its use.
