4. Other statistical properties.

As stated by MarcoP You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., the VMS has a lot of well-known statistical properties like entropy and others.

I think word structure, line as a functional unit and word frequency might be somehow explained by solving common words as separated prefixes and suffixes. Since I don’t know Greek words or grammar, I’m not going to pursue further at these points.

However, entropy, Currier A vs B and reduplication and quasi-reduplication has nothing to do with whether we write prefixes and suffixes joined or separated.

I saw your answer to the entropy question You are not allowed to view links.

I don’t think this question could be answered just by some qualitative descriptions. We need quantitative data.

For other questions (Currier A vs B and reduplication and quasi-reduplication), as I said above, I’m not expecting to see an answer soon, either. But, again, when you have finished translating the whole manuscript, there should have already been an answer to these questions.
