Off the top of my head, without calculating any statistics, I
would say that in Hungarian the letter e is more common than
word-breaks (e.g. egyeségedre!). And again, in Arabic breaks
between letters do not correspond to word breaks, thus anhar
"rivers" is written a-space-nha-space-r because a (alif) 
cannot connect to the next letter. Likewise dar "house" is
written d-space-a-space-r.

No, we cannot be sure at all.
