Why and how the text could be Bavarian

[tavie]

I think JoJo means that 54.5% of lines ending with qokeey have a following line that starts with p, rather than that they are in a line starting with p.*  

I count 3 line end instances of qokeey in the Balneological section.  Two have a p starting the next line.
I count 7 line end instances of qokeey in the Stars section.  Four have a p starting the next line (all paragraph breaks).  
So that's 6/10, which is roughly what JoJo has.  

A few years ago, I looked at how "mid paragraph" line end glyphs may differ from Top Line line end glyphs and Paragraph End line end glyphs.  Final y was relatively more common at paragraph end, and for Balneological and Stars this was both in the form of final dy and ey.  This was at the expense of final am, which was extremely common at line end but comparatively rarer at paragraph end. This would be consistent with (but not proof of) final am being an abbreviation when there is less right margin space.  We covered this briefly in the Chinese Thread, I think.  

It's worth exploring if it is an attraction between qokeey and p or if it is an attraction of certain finals or their subvariants to paragraph ends.  But that might be hard to do since the numbers are small here.  


*Lines starting with p and ending with qokeey would be extremely unexpected because qokeey is unlikely to be a Top Line word (in fact /keey/ is a big driver of the missing /ke/ in the Stars section).
