intra-*word* works just fine for me.
I think what Denis is referring to is a construction of the type
*intra*word, which, if I'm not mistaken, is not supported and can only
be achieved by inserting a zero width space.
I see. We had a discussion about emphasis issues in
https://orgmode.org/list/8735nnq73n.fsf@localhost
The conclusion from there is that supporting such scenarios will
introduce various edge cases. We would need to make the emaphsis parser
more and more complex inevitably introducing errors.
