Before you draw conclusions about the character  s you need to take into account the fact that language A text is different to language B text.  s words are more common in A. The frequency of character  s in language A is 2.3%. 1.2% in B.

( I need to make it clear that I am using the GC transliteration and only counting 101-s and 101-t characters. )

Also, look at the spline transfer plots of the line positions of words starting  s. In both A and B words peak at the start of lines, but in A  they rise in frequency towards the end.


   
   


For words ending  s there is a slight rise towards line ends in language A.
