These are the most asymmetric couples (the two numbers are the occurrences of A.B and the occurrences of B.A). or aiin is indeed the most remarkable case.
I attach a more extensive list sorted by this arbitrary relevance measure: #(A.B)*[(#A.B-#B.A)/(#A.B+#B.A)]

Thanks for that list. It reminded me of something I had noticed a while back looking at individual pairs of words, which is that words beginning in ch or Sh have a tendency to precede rather than follow words beginning with q.
If you sort them all out:
....
Also noteworthy is that most of the exceptions involve the word beginning in q containing an a-ending.
