There will be no mathematical rule that can apply. Only fuzzy rules. (*)
Humans will make mistakes, are prone to whims, may forget things etc. etc.
Therefore, that there are exceptions to the almost hard rules that:
- q is alwazys followed by o
- there is only one gallows per word
should not be a concern.
No system will perfectly.
That something rarely occurs doesn't mean that it must be an error. For a text representing a natural language it is very likely that rare word variants are errors. However, in the case of the VMS the whole text consists of word variations. For instance beside <daiin> also <dain>, <daiiin>, and <dan> exists:
daiiin ( 17)
daiin (863)
dain (217)
dan ( 20)
Are <daiiin> and <dain> misspelled variants of <daiin> and what is with <dan>? In 97.4 % of the cases EVA-n occurs after EVA-i. EVA-q is followed in 97.5 % of the cases by EVA-o. This means EVA-n without EVA-i is similar unlikely as EVA-q without EVA-o. So if the sequence /qe/ is in your eyes an error what is with sequences like /an/ or /aiiin/?
