All the best, --stolfi

If this is true, I would expect the ratio of occurrences of a word written with final -iin vs. the occurrences of the same word but written with -ir to be more or less constant (this assumes a simple model in which the scribe randomly miswrites an -iin as -ir with some probability). Did you check that?
