The oddities of the bigram "ed"

[Dunsel]

Thus if a digram occurs N times overall, you should divide the text into, say, N/2 pages.  Then, if the digram is evenly distributed, one expects that it will occur in (1-1/e^2) = ~86% of the pages.   But if it is concentrated in some sections, the percentage of pages with the bigram will be much lower than that.

Voynich total ed occurrences: 4660/2 = 2330.  That breaks the Voynich down to 14 words per page.  59%

   

Culpepers total rk occurrences: 379/2 = 189 & 190. And that's 1321 words per page.  76%

   

I think I got the math right.
