this is indeed a very helpful result.
If 172 labels are not found back in the text, then 332 are. Of these, 70% are found back as a single word separated by spaces, and this is indeed a very high percentage, suggesting that the spaces as we see them in the main text are intentional.
This isn't water-tight proof of course, but very strong evidence.
One has to keep in mind that the list of labels in the MS do not follow Zipf's law at all. While the label words aren't exactly unique, they are "almost unique". Among the labels, there are only few repetitions.
The label words *could* be repetitions of words in the main text, after the text was written with arbitrary space insertion, but then one should not expect such a flat word frequency distribution in the labels.

Hi Thomas, I am really sorry you find my efforts both useless and deserving of sarcasm. This is unexpected.
As Rene clearly wrote, this exercise does not "prove" anything. But these numbers could be evidence, and evidence is relevant to the formulation and evaluation of ideas.
These numbers could be explained as errors on my side (this should be easy to check and could provide more reliable evidence).
Another possible explanation is that "space defined words" and labels are significant and (in most cases) have the same meaning (as we can observe in the manuscripts we can read).
I am looking forward to different and better explanations. I am in the fortunate position of not thinking I am totally correct about anything

If you use that as well , you get some different values, that is why i did not compare your list with mine.
If i have some additional time i will publish on that page (scroll down) the unique & compared words compared to the whole text and compared to specific other pages.

This conclusion is wrong with respect to the basic stemming of the words, here considered as labels, change as they become a noun or label.
I wrote this before: the "grammatical case" is in effect when we look at the words. The consequences are that only the stem remains the same.
