One source of such patterns is digits or longer numbers... for example,
daiin = 1, chedy = 2, qokaiin = 3, chol = 4 and so on.  I'll take qokedy
for 6, so that "qokedy qokedy qokedy" (the highest 3-repeat Claus noted)
can be "666". :)  A long text with technical content would need to have
numbers in it, and the page numbers alone don't count!  If this turned
out to have merit, it would be tempting to identify chedy/shedy and
qokeedy/qokedy based solely on the frequencies and this behavior.
