The attached plot is based on a synthetic text generated by You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (I hope I have not made errors in processing the data).
In this text, word initial 'r' is much more frequent than in the VMS (6.4% vs 1.5%): as a consequence, -r.r- is expected to be the most frequent end-start repetition. The actual count is identical to the expected count (114).
The other repetitions fluctuate slightly above and below the expected counts, but, contrary to what can be observed in the manuscript, there is no clear avoidance of end-start repetition.
