It was my impression that Davidschs' original post was about words that begin with sh_ or ch_,
taking that to be the case then i agree completely with nablators' comments in post#4 and MarcoPs' post#5.
Using Takahashi transcription:
ch_ words 5901 :: set of ch_ words 1053 :: Avg len ch word: 7.01329534662868
sh_ words 3207 :: set of sh_ words 535 :: Avg len sh word: 6.766355140186916
Producing a difference in average length of about 0.3. Agreeing nicely with nablators number.
As for sh_ and ch_ behaving the same.

There appears a marked difference between the two in the cosmological section with ch_ appearing much more often within the circles.
As an observation for futher research ( i didnt do any stats) sh_words seem to appear earlier in the lines than ch_.
sh_ words seem to like being the second word, f79r, f93r, f103v, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. are notable.
Finally if sh_words were abbreviated versions of the same ch_ words. Then the text in its decompressed form would yield a remakable amount of alliteration.
