During analysis of the text I’ve located an anomaly. Often this an indication there is something wrong. The foldouts, have a transcription which is spread along the width of the foldouts. This means that the amount of words on those pages is at the biggest line 25 words. There where the average in “the paragraph only transcription” was in that file 32534/3906 lines=8.3 words per line.
The pages concerned are called:
f101r1 => the transcript is actually of page f100v + r1 + r2.
f101v2 => see here f101v2 =101v2 + v1
f89r2 => 89r2 + r3
f89v2 => 89v3 + v2
The pages 89v2 has 15 words, which is average. f89r2 with 17 a 18 words is still acceptable.
f101r1 and 101v2 has over 20 words and must be split up for an average word to word analysis. I’ve done so, resulting into an average of 32534 words/3924 lines still 8.3 words/line.
