Thanks, Marco, this is a complete and intuitive way to visualize the issue.
I feel like we cannot ignore the role of the transliterator in this context. This is not meant as a criticism, but more of a reflection on what exactly these uncertain spaces are. For example, might a bigram like "lk" have so many uncertain spaces because it does not exclusively belong to the "adjacent" or "space" category? I think what Emma asked earlier in this thread is relevant in this regard:

I wonder if uncertain spaces became more or less common during the course of the transcription. That is, either you or Gabriel became more aware or word patterns and they influence judgements.
(This isn't a criticism, as I know I would do the same.)
