The directory holds the main Norwegian hypenation patterns, together with a couple of exception files, one for Norwegian Bokmål (nbhyph.tex) and one for Norwegian Nynorsk (nnhyph.tex). Each exception file may be used as a hyphenation file in its own right, since each also loads the main patterns.

The authors are Rune Kleveland, Ole Michael Selberg and Karl Ove Hufthammer.
