I ran a computational parse of the full ZL v3b text and found something I'd like expert eyes on.
Each herbal folio starts with a unique word (f26v = `pched`, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. = `pcheod`, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. = `foch`). These same roots reappear embedded inside pharma compound words:
```
Herbal f26v: pched (standalone, the plant's code)
Pharma: o.pched.y (prefix + root + suffix)
pched.al (root + suffix)
```
53% of pharma openers (154/286) contain a herbal root. Compounds decompose as prefix (logogram) + root (content) + suffix (grammar). This is ID-agnostic: the pattern holds regardless of which plant is which.
I'm aware of King-Andrisani, Lunazzi's brachigraphy, and Stolfi's PAAFU. This seems to go beyond paragraph-initial position since it links two sections structurally, but I may be missing something obvious.
Has this herbal-pharma substring link been discussed before? Does it hold up?
