I doubt this. It is possible that the TeX patterns disable
hyphenation there, i.e., the pattern is only tillå-ta, but it is not
possible to insert a \descretionary command into hyphenation patterns.
Maybe you have to say ti"llåta, similar to German's active `"'
character to get the proper behaviour.
