Polish typography rules - no single characters at the end of a line

Hi,
in Poland we have a rule, which i couldn't find english translation for.
It is considered a mistake to leave single characters at the end of lines. It's fairly common as many conjugations are single letter words.

Example:
Byliśmy z moją mamą na zakupach w
lidlu, moim ulubionym sklepie


Should be
Byliśmy z moją mamą na zakupach
w lidlu, moim ulubionym sklepie


It's our national custom to search and replace all spaces to nonbreaking for all of the possible single character words in polish, but it would be great if scribus gave an option to just tick a box in edit>styles to automatically break the line before those words.

Here is the same issue someone had in Tex.

It's called "sieroty" (literal orphans, but different than english orphans in typography, what a linguistic mess.
