Repeating words across line boundaries
#2
Interesting. I did some stats on my own EVA transcription.

I found 8 on the main text paragraphs only, without labels, circles, isolated lines:
13r.2
47v.11
78v.22
82r.3
84r.10
84r.27
87r.13
90r2.5

On the other hand there are about (it depends on the choice of transcription of course) 260 word repetitions inside the 4045 lines from these same main text paragraphs.

If the proportion were the same, and since there are 30211 word boundaries in these paragraphs, there should be about 35 repetitions across line boundaries. Maybe the fact that the first and last words of lines are statistically different from each other and from the other words (first is longer, last more often contains EVA-g or m) explains the gap: they are less likely to match.
