[split] Merged words across lines

[RobGea]

The two texts with hyphenation have many more matches across lines than inside. The text with no hyphenation (Lincoln_fixed) has uniform low numbers across lines and inside.
The VMS has many more matches inside lines than across. This is the opposite of what happens with hyphenation: I take this as evidence that words are not simply broken across lines.

I agree with MarcoP.
Untill more evidence comes to light, i think we can put simple word-breaks-across-lines on the shelf.
Summary:  Are vords  broken across lines? -- Probably not.
