It's no surprise for those who remember it :-)

However, it is really interesting in the following
respect: the word structure of the VMs has often
been commented on, in terms of knowing what the
next letter will be if you know the current one.
Best example: after 'q' you will expect to see an
'o'. Here, we know that before i{i}n we will
essentially always see 'a', while after 'a' there
can be several things. I.e. the rule works in
the opposite direction.

This is not the result of 'chance'. There is a
rule, or a design behind it.

Cheers, Rene
