There may be a lot of doubled words (~300), but there are even more 
wordpairs where the difference is only one "character" (~1900), and
this is too many to be explained solely by the similarity of VMs 
words.   

So perhaps in both cases of exact doubles and similar pairs the same 
force is at work promoting similarity between adjacent words...
