Input data accuracy

[MarcoP]

Hi Rene,
I used the following very rough code:

Code:

grep -v '^#' ~/rec/voynich/software/ivtt/ZL_ivtff_1r.txt > /tmp/clean for c in {a..z} do echo -n $c' ' for sep in '[.]' ',' do END=`grep -o $c$sep'[a-z]' /tmp/clean | wc -l` START=`grep -o '[a-z]'$sep$c /tmp/clean | wc -l` echo -n $START $END ' ' done echo done

These are two problems I see, but there might be others:

• 1-character words are not correcly handled
  
• I only consider couples of consecutive words both ending/starting with [a-z] 
  

If I understand correctly, another difference is that you treat line-breaks as certain spaces, while I only counted spaces between consecutive words on the same line. I guess this explains why you find fewer c-starting words (they are rare after a line break).
