For the VMS you can find on every level familiar elements that can change into something uncommon and therefore unexpected. That is a pattern for the VMS.
On glyph level there are rarely used variants for which it is unclear if they are new glyphs or variants of commonly used glyphs. On word level there are rarely used words which look quite similar to frequently used ones. For instance the word daiiny occurs only once. On first sight it seems unclear if it is a misspelled variant of the more common word daiin or a new word. Even on page level you can can probably describe for each page something only typical for this particular page. And on language level we have the shift from Currier A to Currier B.
It seems that the existence of exceptions is a rule for the VMS.
