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...
