The problem is that Kronecker is not a word but a name not matching any actual word. | |

| May 24, 2011 at 17:25 | comment | added | John Sidles | Thank you, Stefan. Unless in the next two days someone provides a more nearly comprehensive list of preferred hyphenations of mathematician's name, I will rate this answer as the "accepted" one. | |
