Hi Emma,
do you mean finding all the long words that cannot be "explained" as the concatenation of two shorter words?
About benches and e-sequences:
A possible experiment could be considering bench+e sequences as single glyphs, and see the effect on Sukhotin's algorithm (for instance). More than 90% of e-sequences follow a gallows, bench, or benched-gallows glyph. A difficulty would be deciding what to do with benched-gallows: gallows appear to be clearly distinct; we can experiment with assimilating benches and 'e'; but benched-gallows?
The characters following e-sequences are almost equally split among possible vowels [oay] and other glyphs, so the outcome of the experiment is not easy to predict....
