Use of "ee" in Q2-3 is weird(?)

[Jorge_Stolfi]

I do not see the alternation of 0,1,2,3 appearances on any page as unusual, but the sudden appearance of lots of them on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is odd.

Actually that is the sort of pattern one would expect if the text on each page is about the plant depicted in the figure.

Page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has three parags. In my transcription they have 3, 4, and 3 occurrences of ee, respectively.  The word type cheey occurs once in each parag; qoteey occurs once each in parags 1 and 3. The other five occurrences of ee are in word types that occur only once each on the page.

Page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has two parags and no occurrences of ee.

Page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has three parags with three ee each.  The word type keey occurs once each parag, and so does sheey (although once as part of otolosheey).  The other three occurrences of ee are three words that occur only once each on that page.

Thus that clustering of ee seems to be due to certain ee word types that are specific to each page,  and tend to occur once in each parag.

It is not surprising that a word that is used once in one parag of a herbal page would be used once in the other parags of that page too.

Coincidentally, the plants on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. look similar, and very different from the plant on f20v.


Thus the pattern above does not seem so strange to me...

All the best, --stolfi
