The warnings can be turned off.

    $ printf '%s\n' '.ll 1u' recapitulation |
    > nroff -Wbreak |

    re‐ca‐pit‐u‐la‐tion
    $

I dislike's groff's `-a' approximation of a hyphen, and it telling me a
page is starting.

    $ printf '%s\n' '.ll 1u' recapitulation | 
    > groff -Wbreak -a |
    > sed 'H; $! d; g; s/\n//g'
    <beginning of page>re<hy>ca<hy>pit<hy>u<hy>la<hy>tion
    $
