Bigram = phoneme theory (language agnostic)

[Emma May Smith]

With respect to the question of removing Eva-q:

a great number of words only differ in that they start with qo instead of o .
By removing the q , this distinction is lost and the words become indistinguishable.
This would be a reduction of the entropy.

Surely only at the level of words? At the level of glyphs the entropy increases because [q] is so predictable.

I think these two different changes in entropy together would be interesting as word order is considered too variable yet glyph order too structured. (I thought that was one of the main paradoxes of the text.)
