Marke, could you be a bit more specific about the rules used?  Are you
saying, Q1 A1 I1 ... with zero or one items picked from each of groups Q1,
A1, I1, ... Y1?

Also, why the duplicate *2 and *3 lists, sans Q*?  Does that mean up to
three repetitions of sequences defined in the A* ... Y* list?

I've always assumed that Stolfi's analysis was excellent evidence that
some "words" are several words munged together, either via compounding or
via misreadings.
