OK - Looking for suggestions here. I tried to come up with a good
method to reflect the underlying glyphs on page 115r and come immediately up
against the "c" "e" "h" - and some "i"s problem. (I am working with
EVA here)
For instance, while it is apparent to me that the word "oroiir" on the
first line is "orour" [english u here - not EVA u] how should I deal with
the next word? It could be:
occhhdy
oechedy
ohchhdy
oc"ch"edy
etc.
So much of this is look and feel and I want to try and get as real of a set
of stats as I can. Of course, none of us knows the proper answer, so any
suggestions/comments are more than welcome! What would you like to
see?

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.
