I was trying to see whether low-frequency tokens create bridges between folios and sections. That is why I did not use hapax legomena initially: a single occurrence cannot really create network structure or repeated connections between pages.

But, if one scribe creates a hapax in their work and then that word gets used or copied by another scribe, that creates a network between scribes.  And keep in mind there's more than just a few folios in herbal that are not currier A (Scribe 1). If you're testing all of herbal then you're mixing two regimes and will get a false network connecting to other scribe 2 pages in other sections.  Same for Scribe 1 and 3 in Pharma.

I did a quick graph of how the rare tokens are distributed by writting hand (according to EVA transliteration). There are plenty of connections, meaning that the use of the rare tokens is transversal between scribas.
