In the Torah
A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for קרן, and הפוך has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
The Torah holds 126,824 sequences of קרן at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 127,200).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 23:6, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,924,340 sequences of קרן, against about 1,971,551 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 127,200 of it, so a large count is expected.
