Thanks bi3mw.
the Top20 commonest words in the VMS (Adelaide.edu study) are:
daiin ,ol,chedy,aiin,shedy,chol,or,ar,chey,dar,qokeey,qokeedy,shey,qokain,qokedy,dy,qokaiin,al,dal,s.
from that, we would expect to find that the mergewords ol-daiin ,ol-chedy, or-daiin,ol-daiin,etc
would be more likely to exist, simply because they are compounds of the most frequent words.
And indeed oldaiin has the highest count in your list.
I think its impossible to exclude the idea that a 'vord is broken across lines'.
The most frequent 'oldaiin' is what we would expect to find if words never occurred over line-breaks.
Where a word break( if they exist ) occurs within a word would affect these results.
Noteworthy is that ol-chedy does not appear as a mergeword.
