Since paragraph-initially words usually start with a gallow glyph it is no surprise if words not starting with a gallow glpyh are uncommon there.



Agreed. It does occur following gallows. Which means that if gallows in initial position is positioned as though it were pilcrow/capitulum (which I am moderately sure it is), then aiin occurs in initial position for the main body of text.

Examples: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.    f35r (2nd paragraph) and others   Also possibly ones like f33r (line 4).
