In the Torah
The Torah holds 80,130 sequences of עקן at skips 2–5,000, 1.5% above what chance alone gives (about 78,952); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.5 × 10⁻⁵ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 29:12, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,288,716 sequences of עקן, against about 1,223,721 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 78,952 of it, so a large count is expected.
