Oddly enough, as everyone knows there are lots of
words starting with qo- and there are also a lot
of words ending with -ol. The short word <qol>
could therefore be extpected to be frequent, but
in reality it is not. It is a bit of an anomaly.

I would say so. Look at:
http://www.voynich.nu/extra/lang.html
There's a table in Courier font and Currier alphabet,
so check the frequency of the word 4OE (Eva qol).

What would interest me in a case like this is:
where are the few occurrences of this word outside
the Bio section, and what can we deduce from it?

Cheers, Rene
