"The Currier languages revisited" revisited

[ReneZ]

Also, any posited gradual transition from the A language dialect pages to the B language dialect pages requires interpreting the label text of the Zodiac folios -- and only the label text -- as the stepping stones between the two (if you didn't follow the thread, see the discussion in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). The non-label text on the Zodiac pages (with one exception) falls firmly on the A language side of what I've come to think of as "Currier gulch" in the bigram distribution space.

I intended to follow up on this, but haven't gotten round to it yet. 
The short summary is that I do not consider the tiny gap that one can see if one removes the labels to be a barrier between two distinct groups.

First of all I do not see a reason to ignore the labels.
Secondly, the gap is much, much smaller than the size of the cloud.
Thirdly, I remember seeing points in the same colour on both sides of the gap.
All this is made difficult by the inherent noise in the data (statistics based on relatively small sample sizes).
 
Hopefully I can find the time and the priority to clarify this.
