Rene Wrote:Frequent words
The most common word type in the A corpus is daiin or in Currier notation: 8AM (3). In the B corpus, the most frequent word is chedy, or in Currier: SC89. A peculiar fact is that the latter word does not occur at all in the A corpus, whereas daiin is relatively frequent in B as well. In general, words tend to either occur in both languages or they occur in 'B' only. There is a very short list of moderate-frequency words that occur only in language A. Had the split between A and B languages coincided with the apparent split in subject matter (apparent from the illustrations), this would make sense. This is not the case, however, since the herbal illustrations have text in both languages, so we do have a reason to question whether the text is related to the illustrations at all.
