I'll run some tests later and will report back.

It is a universal word (not like an article), it is frequent (sometimes, and the more so in the past, being used in exchange for words such as "then", "so" etc.). And it should be ubiquitous - namely, it should be found even in texts of highly conspective nature which may lack articles or prepositions.
How can it be located? I can think of searching it in between vords relating to homogenous objects - such e.g. as the "Voynich stars". One could just map all the f68r1 and f68r2 objects and see what are the vords joining them (if any).

I am not sure this is totally universal as a "word".
See for instance You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (XII Century).

So common ending -dy stands for -ellus, and -ody for -ulus, diminuitive forms often used in medieval latin. Interestingly, -ody is very rarely used in bathing section, so this gives us at least three(!) authors
