[split] Word length autocorrelation

[Jorge_Stolfi]

One complication for this sort of analysis is that in the available transcriptions there are many uncertain spaces (EVA comma) that may or may not be word breaks.  And there are many spaces in the text that are wider than normal inter-glyph spaces but narrower than normal inter-word spaces, which transcribers may have either entered as word breaks (EVA period) or just ignored.  

Many of these dubious word breaks are after a short prefix like y or ol or before a short suffix like dy or ar.  If those dubious spaces were treated as word breaks, the length correlation would probably drop, possibly even becoming negative.

All the best, --jorge
