Sequential word repetitions in the VMS

[Searcher]

(2) Exact-word repetitions are found more often in the middle of lines rather than at (or across) their boundaries, consistent with Emma's hypothesis about line-start and line-end transformations -- although doubled words sometimes appear at the beginning or end of a line.  Marco presents some useful statistics about this earlier in the current thread.  Cases of three or more exact-word repetitions in a row are always in the middle of the line and never touch one or the other edge.

I suggested that such repetitions, multiplied words are garbage in the text, that is, in the case of daiin daiin or okedy okedy okedy okedy, you need to leave only one word, and ignore its repetition as empty words made for confusion. Although it can be assumed that they also have a certain function, for example, shifting the next word to a certain position in the text, that is, in the line okedy otedy when adding garbage words to the line (for example, okedy okedy okedy okedy otedy), otedy will appear in fifth position instead of the second. Or these repetitions may have another function. 
Unfortunately, I didn't get acquainted with Emma's hypothesis, I need to find time to read and understand.
