I don't use this file myself but the hyphenation.css file in the official KoboTouchExtended driver uses

-webkit-hyphenate-after: 3;
-webkit-hyphenate-before: 3;

which looks like an error to me. You could correct your own copy. You could also use kobo_extra.css to add these CSS styles.

You should be right, in this page https://friendsofepub.github.io/eBookTricks/ is documented in the way as you told. I was curious and found that the kepubify source code has the same error.

This is happening in my book, the one char was followed by a point.
In the other thread, someone mentioned that in the metadata given language code determines which dictionary will be used for hyphenation. I am defining the language in the body element. I don't know which is correct I will use both for be on the safe side.

I will try the

hyphenate-limit-chars: 6 3 2;
-webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2;
hyphenate-limit-lines: 2;

Quote from Blitz
"to improve hyphenation. You can indeed set the minimum number of letters a word must contain to be hyphenated, and the minimum number of letters which should be before and after the hyphen.

Finally, you can control the maximum number of consecutive lines for which hyphenation must happen. As Bringhurst advised, “avoid more than three consecutive hyphenated lines.”"
