Thanks again to Patrick and all other participants for this great discussion!
I was wondering if single-scribe corpora are large enough for detailed word-oriented analysis. For instance (unless I am miscounting), each of Scribe2 and Scribe3 wrote about 150 occurrences of daiin. This means that, when considering recto and verso separately, each cell in a 10x10 grid averagely represents less than one occurrence on average. I am sure that Patrick can find a way to assess the meaningfulness of these results: possibly, comparing with random sets of pages as he did might be enough. I am definitely too ignorant about statistics to have any idea about how to tackle this.
Another side of the subject is the possible impact of page layout. In particular, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. I noticed that image-breaks (frequent in Herbal pages) appear to have an effect on nearby words. The extra-long lines in the Pharma section might also be of interest.
I am looking forward to read more!
