In the Torah
The Torah holds 426,656 sequences of קאי at skips 2–5,000, 0.6% above what chance alone gives (about 424,230); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 9.9 × 10⁻⁵ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:5, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 6,459,711 sequences of קאי, against about 6,575,376 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 424,230 of it, so a large count is expected.
