Sanskrit, and I think Hindi, break the line of text with certain
"stop-consonants". Basically, the writing stops where you would close / stop
moving your mouth. Thus, you can get two words and part of a third strung
together, and a break within the third word, break within the fourth, and so
on. (The breaks are phonetic rather than grammatical.)
