It is found with high-frequency in the Bio-B text, and much less frequently in the stars/recipes (also B) text.
There are only sporadic occurrences in A language, more as parts of other words, and even fewer in herbal B.
On the other hand, the words chedy and shedy are very frequent in all B-language texts, including herbal-B, and basically non-existent in all A-language text.
While the former could be contents-related, the second appears dialect-related, or however one wants to call it....
The latter is, of course, a subset of the notorious bigram [ed]. Practically unknown in A yet occurs over 4800 times in B.
I think that if we could figure out a reason for it the outcome would be very insightful.
