These posts are probably better put as a thread here. 

Lines are more interesting than words. The observation that they may act as "functional units" in themselves makes them especially worthy of investigation.

This is the first in a series of proposed LINE STUDIES where I will examine discrete lines of text. The first is line 5 from f25r. The line in question is:


qotcheaiin.dchain.cthain.daiin.daiin.cthain.qotaiin-

It is a noteworthy line in which every word has the same suffix. 

The study can be found here:

It is not obvious if these patterns are "real" (not random) or if you are just cherry-picking them. These considerations should be supported by a statistical study.

More line studies. Some lines from f58r:
