I think that these word combinations are more due to the characters in the words rather than the specific words themselves. So, for example, while [or] does come before [aiin] regularly, the same is true for many words ending in r. Sam has posted other examples of the same.
It may be that this line of research is still fruitful, with statistics for all pairs like: "words beginning ch before words beginning q", with all permutations of characters, first and last in a word, and before and after. But specific words are only a subset of these.
