Hyphenation doesn't match pronunciation file

The current hyphenation in the definition says "pri-mi-pa-ra", but that would be pronounced "pree-mee-pah-rah" whereas the pronunciation example would make the hyphenation be "pri-mip-a-ra" as in "pry-mip-ah-rah." 2601:155:4280:9540:1831:9BF9:2BD2:3C1A 01:21, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes. Hyphenation uses the spelling of the word (because that's what you hyphenate on a page!), not the IPA. In other words, hyphens are always written, never spoken. Equinox ◑ 01:38, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
