Any Guesses?

Any ideas as to what this might be?

Hint: It has to do with my BibleTech:2009 paper. (If you're using a feed reader like Bloglines, you'll need to see the post on ricoblog for the details)

                   
                   
                   
                   
                   

Any ideas?

Ok, I'll give. The above is a representation of parts of speech in the first five books of the LXX (so, the pentateuch). Yes, lots of refining to do, but you get the gist. The order is:

Noun

Adj

Prn

Art

Vb

Cj

Adv

Ptcl

Intj

Indcl

A graphical representation of the stylometric statistics for each division of the OT LXX (Pent., History, etc.). Do we win a prize if we guess correctly???

I was going to say the pattern of Joseph's coat of many colors, but I would have been wayyyyy off.

I'm going to guess it's some kind of statistical analysis of the use of αλλα in the Apostolic Fathers.

John: Close, but not quite. You're up a level too high.

Cliff: Er ... uh ... you'd better keep to studyin' Hebrews, man.

Nick: Off on both counts. Nothing to do with αλλα or the Apostolic Fathers.

Esteban: αλλα is soooooo 2008 for me.
