Hi Nick,

It would be interesting for others to use their files to compare counts. 
I made three and got three slightly different sets of results depending 
on what was used for counting. I *think* I removed all carriage returns 
for this count. Notes are somewhere with 10,000 others and it was done 
last year, after all. Most will have a much simpler method but I will 
see what I can do about references, which are certainly needed.


I began with the Majority Vote transcription (version unknown).

all  355 ai*n changed to aiin <------- NOTE
removed empty angle brackets "<>"
truncated multiple blanks to single blanks (again)
removed blank lines
Truncated multiple J's to single J,s -- 975 in final text
Inserted space at beginning and end of each line
truncated multiple blanks to single blanks (yet again)
Deleted 1 _ o'
Changed the one K to k
Changed the two S's to lower case s's


I have not checked any other word pairs except that a quick look seemed 
to show no remarkable correspondence when ch/sh words were the first of 
pairs.
