sh_ and ch_ compose the same words

[Torsten]

To check if there is a relation between words containing 'sh' and words containing 'ch' it is only necessary to count them. We all talk about the same manuscript no matter what we think about it. It should be no problem to agree to facts like that the words <daiin> and <dain> exists seven and six times on page You are not allowed to view links.

for each shWord in shWords {
   shTypeCount++;
   shTokenSum += countTokens(shWord);
   chWord <- shWord.replaceAll('sh', 'ch');
   if (chWords.contains(chWord)) {
      chExistsTypeCounter++;
      chExistsTokenCounter += countToken(chWord);
      if (countToken(shWord) > countToken(chWord)) {
          shTypesMoreFrequentCounter++;
      }
   } else {
       chNotExistsTypeCounter++;
       shNotExistsTokenCounter += countToken(shWord);
   }
}
print(shTypeCount, shTokenSum, chExistsTypeCounter, chExistsTokenCounter, chNotExistsTypeCounter, shNotExistsTokenCounter, shTypesMoreFrequentCounter);

This is the result:
- there are 1211 'sh'-word-types with 4458 'sh'-word-tokens
- for 612 out of 1211 (50.5 %) 'sh'-word-types the corresponding 'ch'-word can be found
- for 3814 out of 4458 (85.8 %) 'sh'-word-tokens the corresponding 'ch'-word exists
- for all 'sh'-word-types with at least 4 tokens also the corresponding 'ch'-word can be found
- only 49 out of 612 'sh'-word-types (8 %) are used more frequently than the corresponding 'ch'-word-type

This means, as more frequently a 'sh'-word-type is as more likely the existence of the corresponding 'ch'-word-type becomes. If there is a corresponding 'ch'-word, it typically occurs more frequently or at least equally frequently. There are 49 exceptions from this rule: <sho> (130 times) occurs more frequently than <cho> (68 times), <sheedy> (84) more than <cheedy> (59), <dshedy> (36) more than <dchedy> (27), <she> (25) more than <che> (2), <shee> (13) more than <chee> (1), ... 

There is a reason for this result. The chance for a 'sh'-word to occur on a page increases as more often the corresponding 'ch'-word appears on that page:

Sorry, but we are bound to the facts even if we don't like the outcome.
