Different behaviours in line-final words...?
#9
These are counts based on Takahashi's transliteration. As always, I could have made errors.

More than half of the chd words in A appear either at line-end or before an image-break (21/40). I agree that this is a large deviation from what is expected. A slight preference for these positions in still observable in B  - this is clearer for the before-plant position, 2.2% of chd words appearing there vs an average (and expected) 0.6%.
Things are harder for shd, since the pattern is quite rare in A and shows even less preference in B.

    |    line-end_A   |  bef-plant_A  | ALL_A ||    line-end_B   |   bef-plant_B  | ALL_B
ch  | 276 | 7.3%      | 224 | 5.9%    | 3799  || 483 | 7.8%      | 43 | 0.7%      | 6170
chd | 14  | 35.0%     | 7   | 17.5%   | 40    ||  85 | 11.5%     | 16 | 2.2%      | 742

sh  | 59  | 4.3%      | 57  | 4.2%    | 1368  || 124 | 4.3%      | 5  | 0.2%      | 2865
shd | 0   | 0.0%      | 3   | 37.5%   | 8     ||  15 | 9.3%      | 1  | 0.6%      | 162

AVG | 1791| 14.1%     | 1050| 8.3%    | 12716 || 2716| 11.0%     |183 | 0.7%      | 24586
