In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, יאן appears 1,278,131 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 1,276,394, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 7:9, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 19,443,578 sequences of יאן, against about 19,783,549 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,276,394 of it, so a large count is expected.
