Vord length distribution

[Koen G]

What strikes the eye in the Dostoevsky curve is that the left slope is neat while the right is not. I wonder how the picture would change would the text be abbreviated... Maybe it is abbreviation that "normalizes" the distribution.

I was thinking something like this too when I saw your last curve; the difference appears mostly in the longer words.
What about syllabification? I think syllables in some languages may have a distribution similar to Voynichese.
