What are the characteristics of Labelese?
#3
Correct, I've found only one text so far with a higher TTR than the VM labels: Claretus' glossary. Which, given its text type, has a top TTR by definition.

On a more philosophical note I'd add that it's not problematic for labels to be repeated or consist of more than one word. For example, in bestiaries there can be "stier" and "wilt stier", i.e. bull and wild bull. And more kinds of bull. Those ask for two-word labels and repeated words.

Anyway, it's an interesting topic since one could posit some expectations for labels (Nouns and adjectives? Nominative case?)
