The change can be observed both in vocabulary and in "morphemes". 
For instance 
  • the word 'chol' and the 'cluster' sho are typical of A
  • the word 'aiin' and the fragment 'dy' are typical of B

The two aspects are of course related: -dy words tend to be more frequent in B than in A.
On the other hand, the 'cluster' aiin has more or less the same frequency in A and B, but as a stand-alone word it is about three times as frequent in B than in A.
