Thanks!
From my experience with Rohonc Codex I can confirm your observations. Yet, I am totally convinced that it is a meanigful text.
Some comments:
Rohon has far fewer distinct words than normal texts
True, it is constructed language without synonyms and with limited vocabulary. It also has no declension at all.
Words that appear together tend to form tight closed groups, showing fixed repeated phrases instead of flexible grammar.
Yes, it is repetitive. Some sentences/patterns like "Jesus said to disciples" or "Written by NN in Nth chapter" are repeated many times, some longer fragments are also repeated.
That means word pairs appear very often in both directions (“A B” and “B A”), which is rare in natural texts.
Yes, from my observation it has a loose word order. But some natural languages (like Slavic ones) also have loose word order so I guess it really depends on language.
A few central words control most connections, showing a rigid core instead of a spread of shared links.
Yes, over 50% of sentences begin with "and" word.
My conclusion is that something at statistics level may look not like a real text, yet be a real text in some exotic language with specific content
I also noticed that on many diagrams Rohonc Codex behaves similarly to some Chinese text.
