Hi Jonas and Benjamin,
thank you both for the interesting thread!
The attached graph is based on the second graph in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. As always, I may have messed up something, so take everything with a grain of salt.
You can refer to that post for further details.
The X axis represents the % of reduplicating words with respect to the total number of consecutive word-couples. The Y axis shows the corresponding measure for quasi-reduplication (more details below).
The reddish circles on the right are about Wallas' corpus:
The blue cloud at the top corresponds to various Voynich (EVA) samples. TTAS is the output of Timm and Schinner's software. All the other samples (close to the origin) are various language texts (from Brian Cham's and Koen's corpora).
Walla consistently exhibits a reduplication rate much higher than the VMS (more than 4%, vs about 1% in the VMS).
The VMS has a higher quasi-reduplication frequency (~2% vs ~1%), according to the specific definition of quasi-reduplication used for these experiments: two consecutive words at least 4 characters long and having edit distance = 1 (i.e. differing by a single character).
These are quasi-reduplication examples in Walla's text:
CL: corporor corboror
CC: foao moao
Walla_2: hokus bokus
Other interesting patterns in Walla's text are not detected by my script. E.g.:
ohrohb feuer satanohrohb satanfeuer

The reddish circles on the right are about Wallas' corpus:
- cc and cl correspond to Cyrillic and Latin
- misc is the rest of the first file (i.e. excluding CC and CL)
- walla_1 is the whole first file (CC+CL+MISC)
- walla_2 is the second file
