Interestingly, EVA:daiin and the EVA:q- prefix exhibit very different behaviors when examined with respect to their position in lines. Considering the initial herbal section (f1r-f57r, 9507 lines), daiin occurs in 403 lines, q- in 635: the numbers are close enough to be meaningfully compared.
daiin appears at the beginning of lines 12.2% of the times (49 times), at the end of lines 15.6% (63 times). These frequencies are compatible with what is statistically expected if the word was unaffected by LAAFU.
On the other hand, q- appears in the first word of lines 29.9% of the times (190 times), at the end of lines 4.7% (30 times). The q- prefix is strongly affected by the position in lines, with a clear preference for appearance at the beginning of lines: in that position it is more than 6 times as frequent as at the end of lines.

Have we found another Currier A/B feature?! It seems we are measuring slightly different things, so I can't be sure.
