Well... there sure was a lot to read after
my holidays!
However, I'll limit my
response to Larry's work which showed some interesting coincidence in folio 26
and 31 compared to the
folio's surrounding them. First, I think I
may have asked this before - but what's the difference between a standalone 'c'
and a standalone 'e'?
The stats seem to show the popularity of
each of these as separate... I think vladimir is right that common constructs
like 'ch', 'cph', 'cth',
etc... should be counted separately - and
any standalone 'c or e' are treated always as 'e'. Then, I'd like to see a
frequency count that includes
the frequency of 'e', 'ee', 'eee', 'eeee',
and 'i', 'ii', 'iii', 'iiii' as well. In the count, I think that when any
character is repeated it should be counted as
a whole -- that is 'eee' doesn't count as
'eee' and 'ee'+e and 'e'+'e'+'e'... it only counts as one occurrence of
'eee'.
John.
