I'll bet that "et et", though, would turn out to be lower than expected, since it's basically an invalid biword (sorry David!) in Latin.

Register or Login to view.Let's theorize what does it mean when, given your methodology, the actual pattern count notably differs from the "expected" value. As we see, it can differ in both directions, although in most cases the actual value is larger than expected.
So far that actual single-word frequency is already accounted for in the methodology, differences in both directions would suggest something.
Most generally, if the actual count is higher that expected, then the vord in question tends to exhibit positive affinity (attraction) to itself, while if it is lower than expected, the vord tends to exhibit negative affinity (repulsion) to itself. I think that similar graphs for reduplications would be useful to test this explanation - i.e. for XX patterns like daiin daiin. The "expected" value in our terms would be simply p^2 in this case. If the "affinity" idea is valid, then the situation with XX patterns will follow the situation with "X any X any" patterns.
Any more ideas?

Quote:In Latin, yes, one would not expect to find et et, but in medieval scribal Latin it can certainly occur as et et if there is a tail on the second "t" so that it looks like EVA-r. Then it becomes "eter" an abbreviation for "eternum/aeternum".
