sh_ and ch_ compose the same words

[MarcoP]

There appears a marked difference between the two in the cosmological section with ch_ appearing much more often within the circles.

Thank you for your interesting observations!

As an observation for futher research ( i didnt do any stats)  sh_words seem to appear earlier in the lines than ch_.

This is also an interesting phenomenon.

1083 lines have a sh- word appearing before a ch- word
748 lines have a ch- word appearing before a sh- word

The two sets are not disjunct: some lines include both patterns. Also, by "before" I do not mean "immediately before".
For instance the following line matches both patterns, because chedy occurs before shekam and shekam occurs before chl:
sarol chedy shekam qokar chl ykeedy chckhy dalor dy

Excluding lines starting with ch/sh, so that we are not influenced by a line-initial preference for sh-, I find that:
904 lines have a sh- word appearing before a ch- word
659 lines have a ch- word appearing before a sh- word

So, yes,  I think we can say that sh- words tend to occur before ch- words, though this is just a preference with many exceptions.

I also confirm that sh- seems to prefer the second position in a line:
721 sh words (22.2%) appear in the second position of a line
932 ch words (15.6%) appear in the second position of a line

As always, I could have made errors and it would be good to see independent measures about this.


PS:
191 sh- words (5.9%) appear at the end of lines
626 ch- words (10.5%) appear at the end of lines

Could it be that the line-ending preference of ch-words is the cause of sh- typically occurring earlier in a line?
