Vord paradigm tool

Thanks Hermes777, for this thread and a new way of thinking about word patterns.

I had a quick look at the distribution of cluster lengths.  Two histograms are superimposed below:  In blue is the distribution of consonant-initial word-cluster lengths (paragraph text from the IT transcription, respecting line breaks and illustration breaks, but not uncertain spaces).  Yellow represents the same text sample, but with word order randomized within each line.  In the grey areas they overlap:

   

A case could be made that fewer short clusters occur in the native manuscript.  But its overall distribution is very close indeed to statistical expectations, which might count against a functional interpretation of the cluster patterns.
