In the Torah
The Torah holds 192,085 sequences of גיא at skips 2–5,000, 0.8% above what chance alone gives (about 190,565); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.00025 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 10:16, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 2,847,703 sequences of גיא, against about 2,953,667 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 190,565 of it, so a large count is expected.
