Good work!
And if I could suggest something...
Personally I believe in multi scribe hypothesis by Lisa Fagin Davies and others.
It would be interesting to see these words assigned to each of the scribes identified by Lisa.
My intuition tells me that if there were several scribes, they weren't "equal". Some were more experienced, some were less experienced. And there was probably some "leader" among them.
I would also agree that some of "weird" words are probably scribal errors.
So it would be interesting to see if all scribes generate the same number of weird words, relative to the amount of text they produce. The one who generates the least of them was probably the most experienced one.
