The first glyph of every line – a hint at a cipher?

[dashstofsk]

I am a bit puzzled by your figures for o_rate. In the manuscript the frequency of character o is greater than the frequency for character y. Yet the o_rate values are less than the y_ending values. It appears that o_rate is the character frequency. But qo_rate seems to be the frequency of words starting qo. To make everything consistent would it not help to have o_rate as the frequency of words with that character?

Also what are the columns t and p in your table?
