In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, אוי appears 2,787,286 times in the Torah — 1.0% more than the 2,758,893 chance alone would give; the probability of 2,787,286 or more by chance alone is 1.4 × 10⁻⁶⁵.
The shortest skip at which אוי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:3, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), אוי is found 42,331,479 times; chance alone would give about 42,761,652.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 2,758,893 of it, so a large count is expected.
