Also the Dutch hyphenation dictionary is missing the LEFTHYPHENMIN and RIGHTHYPHENMIN values altogether, which could be causing problems.

If you or someone else wanted to experiment you could try extracting the Dutch hyphenation dictionary from the 3.16.0 firmware and editing it (with a unix-aware text editor such as Notepad++ if using Windows) so that it starts like this (or whatever values you prefer, increased by one):
Code:
UTF-8
LEFTHYPHENMIN 4
RIGHTHYPHENMIN 4
and then installing it as described in my previous post. It would be interesting to see if that fixed (or at least improved) the problem you are experiencing.
Just for giving the interested a heads-up:

GeoffR was so nice to send me an edited 'hyph_nl' with the above code modification. The result: 'onderwerp' (which means 'subject' in Dutch) still was spelled onderwer-p. The other two words ('trainingskamp' and 'interview') did end up in the middle of a line, most likely because at default the value =/ 4, so that doesn't tell us much.

So unfortunately, the modification did not solve the problem.
