First the data is only *approximative*, in that
the calculations were done by hand, so they
figures will not be exact. The table is meant
to be indicative.
I note Rolf's figure for h'lhym (and thanks for
your interesting comments, Rolf) of 376 (=368),
yet I get only 337 for a simple literal search.
Rolf, how did you get 376?

h'lhym was a straight literal search.
The construct and suffixed forms were not included
at the time, so I append them here.

Not one of any of the terms below appears in Esther!
